Can u blow that picture up at all its way hard to see? And what would you like to know? Im assuming your wondering what measurements would be affected. The after appears to to have more negative camber than it should. But your caster may cause a pull to the right. Bad bearings can affect your toe slightly but mostly camber by making the top of the tire to tuck inward. And do you have any adjustable arms or are they only adjustable at the oe locations?

are you taking it to a 4x4 shop that has the correct measurements for a lifted vehicle? I believe they are different from a stock vehicle. A regular automotive shop has alignment software for stock vehicles. Correct me if im wrong here fellas.

Can someone identify which number go to caster, camber, and toe. Also if this shows if my trac bar is set right or at least close?

Top is camber middle caster and bottom is toe. Which is also the order which which to adjust. Dont think you can get much better in the rear seams only the right rear is off enough to matter...if that. Your caster should be closer to 7.5 and your camber should closer to zero...mostly the right front.
