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

Thank You
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
