I understand he wants to increase caster.

If you are shimming at the leaf spring to increase castor, you are going to change your pinion angle. For some people it is easier to visualize pinion angle than castor angle.

I questioned Hemi saying thick side forward to increase caster, and he said no. That is why I asked what I was missing.
