Good call. And nope, not just you. But at least you said something. When I noted it I just put it off to being a high-pinion diff and so didn't have the same downward tilt as a low-pinion would.
But since you mentioned it, caster is definitely something good to look into.
Once you've verified the other stuff that can be done in the driveway 3percenter, might as well spend a few bucks and have an alignment rack guy give you the full printout of your current settings.
They can also tweak the toe-in while it's on the rack, if needed. But definitely get the printout.
And don't let the guy tell you that "you don't need to know all those other numbers because they're not adjustable" either! Just means they don't know anything about the old stuff. Seen that happen way to many times not to warn everyone.
Insist on all the data available so you can compare.
With your drop brackets and offset C-bushings, I think Curt's right that your pinion should be pointed at least a little farther down.
