I'm trying to gauge this before I hit the rack . Did you happen to print out your before and after sheet? Given input from guys who have done the mod it would seem that for every 1/4" the index is moved its worth about 1° of Caster. If your alignment was about 2.5 and 3.0 without shims before the alignment that would solidify my thinking. Not taking anything away from Rob because his track record is proven but I think we need to get away from the .75" measurement and start measuring from the end of the shaft. Anyone who has pre-mod (non-shimmed) specs could redrill their shafts to have equal caster once it hits the rack.
