Up to -2 camber is ok but I'd prefer a range of -1 o -1.5 degrees. Somewhere between +5 and +7 degrees caster is good but I have yet to get that far on mine. While my truck does feel great with +3 degrees caster I have found that the steering is still a little dead feeling and the "return to center" isn't great. I worry about +7 degrees because rolling the spindle back that far raises the steering arm and creates more bump steer. Again, I haven't had the opportunity to dial in that much caster into a truck to see what affect it would have on the steering arms. You could always heat and bend the arms or relocated the tie rod underneath the arm. Toe is easy...+1/16 per side (1/8 total)
