Somehow I missed your post and I apologize. I was shooting for 5-6 degrees of caster and ended up only slightly off of that. I was surprised by having 9 plus degrees to start. The reasoning behind my feelings of having too much is if I had had 5-6 degrees to start I would have needed fewer shims on the rear bolts and then the nuts would have full thread contact and I would feel better about it. Come to tink of it that may be another solution to the problem. I could pull the lowers and redrill the shafts closer to stock and lose those shims. No shortage of things to ponder.
Thanks for the insights.
