i dont know the "exact" numbers for you truck, but what i do is put a level on the side of the tire and see that the top of the tire is tilted in toward the motor about 1/4 inch more than the bottom. if the tire wears funny, then you can adjust a 1/16 inch more or so... also measure the toe in. distance between the front of the tires should be about 5/16 inch less than the distance between the rear of the front tires. again, you can increase that slightly if the tire wear shows the need.

im not sure exactly where your going 68, but i only use the factory settings as a first guess. after 30k miles i check the tires and determine what needs to be "changed" to get better tire wear. the factory specs are a good starting point, but not really exact. normally i dont even care what the truck is set at now, i look at the wear and determine what it needs next.
