Sounds like you need a new place to take it.

My truck works best with 1 degree negative camber on both sides, and I put in as much caster as I could get without losing the camber. IIRC I have about 3 deg on the left and 2 on the right, and having a little less on the right kept it from pulling right with the road crown. I set the total toe 1/8" in. Tried it 1/8" out but it felt squirrely then.

I played with it and made a bunch of changes over several weeks until it drove nice. I had to realign it when I changed the spindles for the disk brakes. I pulled out all of the shims and started from scratch with all new shims. Hardest part is the tool I have only does total toe, so I had to get the steering wheel straight through trial and error.

I'd still like some more caster, but it drives nice enough that its not worth the effort unless I have to take it apart for something else.
