But, I can understand doing it in stages as you will.
I understand, buddy of mine has a shop so we're doing the front followed by the alignment and when I do rear we'll throw it back onto the rack for another alignment.

I'm hoping once we do the alignment it will take care of the nasty camber on the rear now that I got her 20" wheels & tires...

I see. As long as 20" wheels are correct OEM offset I imagine you should dial it in. I'll try to bring in negative factory rear camber to save wear on inner sides of tires as long as it doesn't interfere the rest of alignment.
Is that your problem, to much negative camber?

I was having the same issue with inside tire wear with my 18" setup but now that I put the 168s on, the negative camber is more pronounced. Sorry for the crappy pics...
