What are the specs for the alignment of an 01 Lightning?

My F1's should arrive tomorrow, so I need to have them mounted balanced and aligned.

I would use the key words, alignment, specs, specifications, lightning, etc.

I followed the above procedure last year and came up with the following specs which I used and am extremely happy with.

Lightning Owner prefered:
LH Caster 6.7
RH Caster 7.2
LH Camber -0.5
RH Camber -0.5
LH Toe -0.05 (slight toe in)
RH Toe -0.05 (same)

If the Lightning owner preferred setting is used over the actual Lightning specifications will this cause the tires to wear prematurely or unevenly?

I put 5K miles on my truck in the months I drove it last year. I had no uneven wear on my new nitto 555 295/45/18's.

I also had the Roush suspension kit on...

The drop and alignment was done roughly 10,000 miles ago, have rotated the tires twice since and am very happy with the even wear and handling this setup provides.
When I went to the alignment shop, I gave them the Owner Preferred Specs as a guide and those actual numbers were what they came up with.
I would think that each truck, alignment machine, would very slightly with the numbers, so the Owner Preferred specs would be good numbers to try and achieve.
