another MII alignment Q

'56 F100 Sm Block darksider Height's PS Pressure reducer dialed way down, Power MII TCI Dropped Spindles Stance: Rear of truck maybe 1" higher than the front.
Presently I have .5 Caster 0 Camber and 1/4" Toe. It is too jumpie and nose dives on the highway. I want to change the alignment to 6 degrees Caster .5 degrees Camber and 1/4" Toe in due to the many threads that I have read. Do you think this setup will make for a better highway handling?

You definitely should have more than .5 degrees caster (if you can get it). I'm running about 4-5 degrees caster with my Volare.

I checked with the supplier of my IFS; they recommended 3 degrees positive castor; I haven't had mine aligned yet, until cab , box and fenders are in place.
