MII Alignment

[53 Willys]

What should MII Type suspension specs be? How much caster is too much and what happens with too much?
Thanks Ed

I run the caster at 5 to 7 degrees, gives good high end stability. Too much makes for heavy steering, loss of road feel.

I have the TCI IFS on my '31 set about 4.5 degrees which is almost all there is for adjustment with the 29" tall tires on the back and shorter 25" on the front. Handles straight with little effort

Mine is TCI on a 48 Jeepster 30" and 26" and am at 4.5 now. and is not really a problem . I am working at slowing its response alittle. If I drove it all the time it would probably not be an issue but MY truck is the opposit

If you are talking about steering response, mine with the Omni R&P is fast tho I am used to it now as my DD, an F350 is the same way - but my mind sure can't wander with either vehicle
