From the FSM:
"(3) The camber angle should be adjusted as near as possible to the preferred angle. The caster should be the same at both sides of the vehicle. Refer to the Specifications chart."
If I am reading your sheet correctly, I think that you need more camber, and that you have excessive cross caster (less positive caster on the left side to counteract the tendency for caster to pull "down" the crown of a road, that is, to the right).

Brought my dodge to one shop, and the alignment wasn't right, even though they were all fancy dancy computerized up.
Brought the dodge to a "Truck spring shop" that had one of those fancy dancy computerized gadgets, and the truck has been perfect ever since.
