I'm having my 2006 Sierra alignment done following a 2" leveling kit. I'm doing new ball joints and tie rods first.

Do you guys have any suggestions other than the factory settings for improved driving experience?

Make sure the cross caster and camber are with in spec and as close to zero as they can get it.

Is that as easy as repeating that to the tech in your opinion?

Has it had any abnormal tire wear with the stock alignment?  Such as front outside edge wear?

Looks to be even across the tread to me.

In that case I'd stick with stock alignment unless you've got some behavior you're trying to change.  Seems like from a tire wear perspective, the stock alignment fits your driving style.

Well, you don't know this but I'm Tommi Makinen on my 40 minute late night drive to work. And the roads are really curvy. Sometimes I'm Robby Gordon on my way home.
