I agree You shold have it checked. No reason not to. I am just saying that you should not have to mess with it much. Most cars do not need to have there camber and caster adjusted. Most cars to day do not even allow you to change the it is set.
This is just from my exp. I do stand corrected that sagging spring will change the ride height. That was the frist thing I checked after the test drive.
I argee with you that you need to be a butt about it they should do it right the frist time. The tech should have spent a little more time and double checked himself.

Normally you do not have to mess with caster/camber. only when something
wears out or you hit something. Has your truck been hit or did you run up on
a curb.
Do not feel bad I used to work for Acura. When one of there cars hits a curb
it is a subframe. We can not put it stright cause it would bend the subframe.
OUCH

Actually you do need to have it checked. Springs do sag causing the vehicle
ride height to change. Ride height directly effects camber/caster readings.
don't believe me, put 15 psi of air in the left front tire of your truck and
40 in the right front. Which way will the truck pull. You guesse it, to
the left because it is sitting LOWER to the ground
