That's great news and I'm really stoked that you got the results you were hoping for. Seven degrees of caster is outstanding, and that will make a huge difference on the freeway. I'll bet you can drive your truck with 1 finger at 70mph. Vehicles with limited caster will wear you out because you're constantly "chasing" the steering to keep it tracking straight. Have you ever drove an old Ford truck with the Twin I Beam suspension? It's awful.
