Any measurements to set the caster and camber and toe

[Schurkey]

Just remember that "home" alignments have only one thing going for them--a motivated mechanic.

Everything else is generally of MUCH lower grade. The equipment is usually crap, the pavement the car is parked on isn't level, and a tape measure hooked to the tire tread isn't particularly accurate. The slope of the driveway is enough to screw-up "home" alignments.

I'd be looking carefully at tire wear, and considering how the "new" alignment can correct the geometry to reduce future tire wear.

IN GENERAL, "home" alignments are good enough to drive to a real alignment shop after installing a heap of fresh front-end parts, and no better. There are (rare) exceptions.

I disagree. The benefit of the alignment shop is that the laser-powered machine is fast and easy. A string alignment will easily get you within the same specs the tire shop guy is aiming for. Find level ground. Be consistent with your measurements. Run fishing line instead of relying on a tape measure or thicker string. Roll your truck fore and aft after each adjustment.

The link-style steering on our trucks has so much slop built in that everything on your front end can be wore out and it's still very driveable.
