Increasing caster options
What’s the options to increase castor? I tried the caster shims and while it drove better I would get a popping noise at full lock. Are there any other options? Is one way better than the other? Btw fully stock f350

I simply replaced my caster bushings to get 4.5 degrees. Very easy to do in my garage then had the alignment checked to confirm. I got mine from PMF. This was on my ‘18 6.7 FX4. I will do the same on my Tremor when it comes in in a couple of weeks.
No popping noise at all.

you could check around and see if theres adjustable radius arms or 4links. i feel thats a better option than drop brackets or shims

3-link arms have been my favorite route to date I’ve used on a truck. Had PMF 3-link setup on my 2017.

I have the PMF radius arms and have been happy with them.

Best interstate “tracking” Super Duty I have owned had the PMF 3-link arms. Front end feels a lot more “tight” with them.

Do they work on a stock truck? The OP is looking for a solution on a stock, unlifted truck.
