Default alignment issue

went to get the tires rebalanced(285/70/17) b/c they started to wear choppy.
i put them back on and now jeep is pulling to right.
went to get alignment and guy told me he couldn't do it b/c camber on driver side is out of factory spec and caster on pass. side is out of spec
camber on driver side is .9 deg. pass side it .5 deg
caster on driver side is 3.8 deg caster on pass side is 3.6 deg
toe is .06 driver pass .16
what can i do to fix this.
its a 07 sahara unlimited

With the reading you have, they may be out of spec, but none of them combined is enough to cause a pull. I would suspect the tires got put back on in different positions than they came off in and now you are experiencing subsequent tire pull. Quickest way to figure it out is to switch front tires left to right and see if it changes the pull. usually it either corrects it, or goes completely opposite. Have seen this many, many times.
