caster angle
I just put the super runner steering system on my 95 f150 with a 6" lift and I am trying to get the best possible angles for caster, camber, and toe.
I figure caster should be between 1-3 degrees,
go with a slight negative camber, and a slight toe in between 0-1 degree.
If anyone else has a similar application and these number work well or other numbers that you think would work better let me know.
thanks

Not sure on caster, but camber you want it close to zero as possible, to much either way will cusa your tires to push or pull, for toe no more than a 1/16th of an inch in, preferably from the passenger side. I take it this is ttb?, if so good luck I did my explorer that way, and it was a pain to align.

You can buy those bushings from napa, different degrees depending how much you need, alot cheaper than letting the alignment guy do it. Main issue is to not run really positive camber, it is bad on the bearings, with ttb, if all brackets were installed then mostly probably just need to check your camber, and toe, set camber first, then toe, with your toe setting at 0 to 1/16th of an inch in.
