Does this seem okay?

ive read through some threads about alignments. And i mentioned it to the tech who aligned my car. (btw i just put on my hotchkis springs n swaybar after many hours in my garage) the tech ruled against all my suggestions per tire wear. He aligned my car as follows:

LF -1 RF -1.2
LR -1.3 RR -1.3
Toe 0 all the way round....

is this okay?

Doesn't sound right. Why would you want to have a differnet setting on the outside left? The only place this is of use would be if you were doing oval track racing.

For a daily the -1.3 in the rear is probably a little too much and as far as the front goes, well, it will take someone who knows what they're doing to set it at -1. Which from what I understand means you have to take advantage of the wiggle room in the top mounting hole of the strut to get it even. As far as getting -1.5, rotate the top eccentric bolt to point 180 degrees opposite, it might yield you a little more than 1.5 though.

The two sides are different because your tech doesn't know how to make both sides even. Tell him to turn the eccentric bolt 180 degrees.
