Yes, you can adjust caster!

...I'm too lazy to write a tech article but here is some nice info to file away in case you ever need it. After lowering my truck with A.I.M. industries 3" drop "I" beams I found I lacked caster on the left side and had a pull. Here's how it was corrected.

Stempf part no. 4410 contains two small cams. Remove the spring perch bolt and enlarge the bottom hole in the strut arm to 1". Reassemble with the cam in the hole and turn it to adjust camber! Then tighten the spring bolt. I attained a 1 degree increase in camber.

Also another thing when you go the opposite way when you lift trucks you can get offset c bushings to put in the radius arms to correct the caster. Most lift companys sell them and energy suspension makes a set of them.
