Sounds good. Just PM me and I will get you my cell number. Is the gas show the Gas Pump show at the Holiday Inn on Fleur Drive in Des Moines?

You can also find some more information here:

Breaking it down:
Camber really helps with cornering.
Caster helps helps to recenter the wheels after a turn.
Toe-in helps with keeping the vehicle going straight down the road. (Conversely, toe-out really makes the vehicle drift/dart to the right/left as road surfaces change.)

Those alignment bushings are only on ball joint applications. The only way to add camber in a kingpin axle is to bend it. But the problem with that is once you bend it, it weakens the housing.............

Most lift springs have a wedge bolted to it via the center pin and this will change the caster. Ryan is spot on on the 6*. I used to set big lifted trucks to 8 or 10* depending the terrain the truck would be driving on or how it drove. And on wider tires, 1/8" toe in helps.
