I recently changed my ball joints and put some moog 0-4 adjustable camber/caster bushings, I did all this because I wanted to get it aligned after I installed my lift, I set the caster and camber to zero before it took it to the alignment guys today, they did the alignment and everything was on but the toe, is this normal? Or did I just get lucky? I watched them do the alignment and seen the print out, it all seems to good to be true

Consider yourself lucky. Just asking, but was it right or just within tolerances?

Yup, lucky.

I put a straight edge on my tires to set the camber to zero after my D-35 swap. When I go it to work and on the rack is was no where near zero.

It does happen from time to time that you sink a slug in and get it spot on though. It's called the law of large numbers.
