Alignment specs

Long story short--I took an axle out of a mid 70's F-150 and converted it for use with leaf springs for my rock buggy. I wonder if anybody out there knows a good "general" alignment spec that I could use for this. I think the caster is at about +2 degrees, and the camber at about +1 or 2 degrees right now. The toe is in at about 1/4 inch. Somebody please let me know if this will work. Thanks in advance!

The Caster sounds good, Camber at +2 might cause some tire wear on the outside edge, toe-in should probably be around 2/32". These are only general guidelines for a 4WD street driven vehicle, don't know if rock crawling requires any special "tweaks." I would suggest looking up the specs for the vehicle you removed the axle from and start there.
