before: -0.1 / -0.6
actual: -0.3 / -0.6

total toe front left / front right
before: -0.47 / -0.55
actual: -0.01 / 0.1

cross camber front
before: 0.5
actual: 0.4

front total toe

rear total toe / thrust angle

What springs do you have? Everything looks fine except for the rear camber. I would say you are on the border line of needing a camber kit. You should be ok. If it was the front, you would definitely need a camber kit.

i have 2 subs enclosed box, ~45lbs total. didn't have a camber problem in the back when i first had it lowered. could it possibly be that over time; it just settles too much? i'm gonna install the sways i bought from Jack (blulegend) this week, will that affect alignment too? maybe i'll install the camber kit in the rear at the same time but its friggin $175.

Installing sways should have no effect on camber whatsoever.The camber readings you have are typical and in all honesty nothing to worry about.These rear camber numbers are about typical for a lowered TL.Unless you are showing excessive tire wear I would not at this time bother with a camber kit.Just remember to up your rotation schedule a bit and you should be fine.Jens
