Confused about caster

So, I’m getting ready to put a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit on my truck. I have read numerous posts but I’m still confused about caster. I don’t know if I need to get caster adjusting bolts/cams for the radius arms. I am also putting a 4 1/2 inch block in place of the 2 inch block in the rear.

It’s a 2006 F250 4x4 CCSB

Install some 4" radius arm drop brackets and your golden.

Are radius arm drop brackets the only way to go? I thought the factory radius arms had adjusters.

Here is the easy answer. Install the lift then go get it aligned. 4.0 degrees of castor is a good number to shoot for. No need to change radius arm mounts unless you lift it 4 inches or more.
