Default DIY alignment help?

Alright guys, got my new steering stabalizer & ZJ tie rod in!
Now my alignment specs..I'm at 56 3/4" front & the rear of the tires I'm at 56 15/16".
Now obviously everyones going to get different specs because everyone measures differently but from my understanding I need to get the tires within and 1/16 of an inch right? Or am I good as is?
I've done many self alignments, used to pit crew for a dirt track team and everythings always changing lol.Anyway never done one on a cheap so I'm curious of what the specs should be.

I'm lift 3" with 31'. Any help or advice here, slight toe in?? Slight toe out? Dead nuts center?

You've got 3/16" toe-in. Keep at it. You want 1/16" toe-in.

Yes. 1/16" less in front than in the rear measured at the centerline of the tire.
