Since these trucks are straight axle fronts, all you can really change is the toe and then straighten the steering wheel. Both of these things can be done easily at home. I bought one of these tools to make the toe adjustment easier.

I have my toe set to about zero and my truck seems to handle fine and my tires are wearing good so far. For the steering wheel, if you spin the adjustment collar so that the top of it spins toward the rear of the truck the steering wheel will move clockwise, and vise versa.
Sure, there are ways to change the camber and caster, but those usually require add-on parts and the labor is very intensive for a regular guy. Most alignment shops aren’t going to want to fool with shimming and things like that either.
