Another Lift Question

So I have a F-150 with 4" lift, I have 3" radius arm drop brackets and need to know if I need to use stock or 2 degree C bushings?

From: NorCal
Using radius arm drop brackets restore some of the caster lost due to the taller spring heights. Therefore, 0°-2° C-bushings compensates and is OK to use.

A 4-inch lift with no radius arm drop brackets would require 4° bushings.

A 6-inch lift requires 7° C-bushings.
