So I went ahead and got my alignment checked and my measurements using my little Amazon gauge were spot on! I had exactly .5 negative camber on both sides and 3.5 degrees positive caster on one side and 3.56 degrees positive caster on the other. Toe is where I was most out and I knew it would be as these tires were hard to do with a tape, so I have ordered a toe gauge. I went ahead and had them align it to Ford's specs, but I was impressed.
I am going to link both gauges below if anyone is interested. The camber/caster gauge is listed only as camber and every Youtube video on it showed it being used incorrectly. Lol.
What you do is find a level spot to set the gauge to zero, then attach to the brake rotor in between the wheel spokes to check your camber. To check caster, you attach the gauge to the rotor, turn the wheel 20 degrees (or about 1/4) the way in, zero the gauge while still attached, then turn your wheel 20 degrees (or about 1/4) out and check your measurement. I got this from instructions for a race caster/camber gauge and it worked perfectly.
