Default Front end Questions / Alignment issue

My 2/3 drop silverado could not be aligned, apparently the tech ran out of adjustment on the upper control arm. The suspension modifications on the front are 2" belltech drop springs, shorter sway bar end links. I will attach a pic of my truck as it sits now(285/50/20 tires), and the alignment sheet showing the old and new as well as the stock specs.





Question # 1
Is it weird that this happened with only a 2" drop? I thought I would be able to align fine with this drop.

Question # 2
With my old alignment specs the tires wore horribly on the inside shoulder, what was the major cause of this, the camber or the toe, or were they about equally responsible?

Question # 3
how hard on my tires will this new alignment spec be on my tires?

Question # 4
does my truck look too low for just a 2/3 drop

All help is greatly appreciated, I'm scared to drive on my new tires even after the alignment since the old ones were ruined(on the old alignment specs).

I have the same exact setup as you, except mine is an '01, 2WD, and stock sway bar end links. They did max out the adjustment on something, not sure what. But more of mine was in spec after the alignment than yours. I don't have the sheet right now but can get it later if you want.
