I'm wondering why they weren't able to get the front camber or caster within specs. In fact the front left caster was within specs before they touched it, and way out of spec after. Maybe it's because it's dropped using keys instead of spindles? Mine (with drop spindles) is within specs all around although caster on the front right is 5.4 which is at the far end. Yours is out on all 4 camber/ caster specs. Did you ask them wtf?
They said they didn't have the specs from the drop kit and they got it pretty close, being that it's dropped. The tech actually took it for a ride, which I didn't like, and he said it felt pretty spot on. Guy said alignment is guaranteed for a year, so if I get the specs, bring it back, or if it doesn't feel right, bring it back and they'll redo it for free. I asked is there going to be any unusual wear or anything else on my tires and he said no. We will see.

That's weird, never heard of needing drop kit specs. My shop never asked, just aligned it to normal specs. They did say the caster is pretty close to the outer specs because it's at the adjustment limit and they can't get it any closer.

Maybe they we're just bs'ing me, I don't know squat about alignments. I'm gonna call the drop company monday and see what they say about it. Now that you've said that, I bet I'm gonna get the same response from the company!

Weather has been super crappy here the last three weeks between rain and snow, plus started a new job so time has been limited… But finally washed the Yukon today. Was much needed!

That looks so clean! I need to wash mine but having the same weather problem except no snow just hail today. Tomorrow looks sunny though so I'll have to wash mine then.
