Default Alignment spec's help after lift

Just recently finished installing my 2.5" lift and adj trac bars and adj lower control arms (front and rear)
I searched and see that most are recommending to target 5* of caster.
Is the target 5* for front and rear axles?
I am going to get my alignment on Friday and would appreciate any advise that will help me get the alignment dialed in.
Thanks in advance!

Let me try a different way
Should target caster be 5* for the rear axle?

Caster is a steering angle 4.5-5° is fine.

Rear pinion angle but with lowers i would leave them stock. Increasing the length can lower pinion angle. Plus you have a 4 door at 2.5 rear pinion is not a huge concern.
