Second Caster Modification - Report Back on Drivability

Background
I did the caster modification of about 3/4 inch as described earlier in detail, which increased caster to about 6.5 degrees. Tire are 275x60x15s at all four corners. The slots are 8.5 inches wide on front. I really like this modification and would do it again.

Highway drivability at 55 to 65 with wide tires is really nice, tracks really good with no wandering. Have not driven the truck yet on a Interstate, so will drive it some more under different road conditions, and give addition report later. So far really drives great on some very uneven roads and highway speeds.

Note: As other have reported, the big ass front sway bar is nice around corners with traction. No information on what happens when you lose traction!!!
