caster on level kits

I have a 2025 f250 Platinum tremor with the 6.7HO. I installed a Carli Commuter kit and their +2 caster shim. This has my caster at +7 degrees caster. If i put the shim in backwards as a negative 2 it gets me just under 6 degrees. Has anyone else with a tremor installed the Carli drop brakects and know what your caster is at? The steering is just a little too stiff with that much caster. I think being a Tremor is already higher that the Carli drop brackets over compensate the caster correction. But Carli wont tell me that. Debating getting the BDS arms and taking off the drop brackets to get a little less caster. Figured Id ask here if anyone else had experienced this. Thanks

Put the stock caster parts and see what that does for you. I never bothered with the caster on my 2.5 level. Steers fine.

I’ve put the stock ones in and the caster was still in the mid 6 degrees. I think Carli is wrong with the drop brackets being the same for tremor and other trims. Tremors sit higher from factory. So a 3.5 inch lift for every other trim is a 1.5 inch lift for tremor. So my thought is the drop brackets should be different. I’m debating replacing the drop brackets with new arms from a Different company.
