Not yet, I haven't settled on a final height yet and didn't want the alignment to be thrown off if I changed the height. I love the way the truck sits when it's 1/2" off the trimmed bump stops, but its so original I don't want to c-notch it... its either take the 2" blocks off and swap in stock front springs or leave it this height and do a small pipe notch.

The steering effort is a good bit higher than stock, return to center is good, and it tracks great so the effects of added caster is definitely noticeable. Steering effort/weight is up enough that it will need power steering, the slow stock ratio has always been annoying but the the slow ratio with higher effort is no fun. I wouldn't recommend the caster mod for anyone wanting to keep the stock steering box unless you're running bias plies which steer easier.
