So I was getting the jeep aligned and this came up. Is there anything or is it even worth trying to adjust toe and camber on the rear? I think I can find all the solutions for the front but want to get it as tight as possible and reasonable.
Rear Camber and Toe Adjustment

You should fill out your profile so we know more about your jeep and the mods, but from that your rear axle is possibly out of square. If you're on stock control arms, could be bushings or arms issues - if adjustable they're just misaligned. Do you know how they measured this? If it's static it could point to some other issues that could be identified by rotating the wheels 180* and seeing the numbers then.
They used a laser alignment machine though not sure what the difference is. The profile I am not sure what all is done. Lowers are non adjustable replacements the uppers are stock but I replaced all the upper bushings until I get my lift kit in the spring. I'll get the Currie with double adjustable arms then. Basically I'm still learning my jeep only owned it 5 weeks and spent 3 of them out of the country.
Thank you already had to put a cam, lifters, timing chain, and gears in it too.
Ignore the toe and camber for the rear as they are non adjustable. It’s the thrust angle you want to adjust, which will correct your toe numbers as best as they can be.
Camber on a solid axel is built-in, minimal and non adjustable. If you find large degrees of camber on a solid axle either the measuring setup is wrong, or the axle/housing is bent.
Unless you have a rear-steer setup, there is no toe adjustment. Looking at the provided graphic, I think "toe" is being used to indicate squareness. Measure each side to see how far out the tires are. I'll bet one side is out further than the other.
Which is the thrust angle, which is out of adjustment
After I started this thread I started to think that too. I could do a quick and dirty check with a tape measure.
