FWIW, I did make tapered shims as I've mentioned on a few posts to give me a bit more caster. Stock is around 3 degrees, but I increased this to around 6 1/2 degrees. This made the truck much more stable, and the steering centers itself much better after doing a turn.

Is that toe in or toe out? I did the shims in a CJ5, still can't get that comfortable to drive over 45/50 mph. I think I should have done a 2" rather than a 4" on the jeep. I ran a 4" lift in a 74 blazer with 33's and it drove well. Did you drive your and then adjust shims? Or shim it straight out the gate?
