Question Front end alignment specifications

I'm taking my 2001 L in for an alignment in the morning and I need to know these specs just in case the mech ca nic does not have them in his manual. We are goin to install Herbs washers also. Since this is a sublet or out soursed job from the dealer, (this dealer does not do their own alignments) I want to ensure we get the alignment done right the first time. I did a search for this information diligently on this board, finding these specs to no avail. Can anyone help me with these alignment settings?

Thank you!

PS - Info from a Post by Silver-Bolt
I did a search as well with no luck. I have a printed copy that I saved.

is that NAPA kit the same one to use when bringing the alignment back into spec after lowering my 01 L?

I'm looking into lowering my truck a little, but want to do it right. I've found the part numbers for the Eibach lowering springs (1"), the rear shackles (2.0"), and the rear hangers (2.5"). A 2.5" wide Eibach helper spring will have to be added to the rear spring pack (like so-cal speed shop does) to bring the rear back up to about 3.75 instead of 4.5, camber bolt will be needed for the front, as well as new bump stops front and rear and either an adjusted/bent rear sway bar end link, or a built one from heim joints/rod ends. The biggest missing piece right now is the camber bolts, but I assume the ones above will work?

Also, are there any pics anywhere of these washers Herb sells, and can someone quickly explain exactly what they do? I have the front end clunk and assume I need them, but being an engineer, I like to know what I'm doing at least before I do it.

Does anyone have the alignment specs for 01' L that has the hotchkis front and rear springs?

I haven't found any alignment places I really trust around here and I would like to be able to bring proven specs with me when I got to get it done.
