Caster specs

Camber and caster aren't adjustable on the W (4x4) models, so unless you've bent something or put spacers between the springs and axle, you should be good, as is.
If you have put spacers in, take them out. They're dangerous. If you need lift, get new springs or have yours rebuit.
If the axle is damaged, replace or repair it. A good axle shop will know the specs for ensuring alignment.

Camber: -1 to +1, 0 preferred.
Caster: +1/2 to +3 1/2, +2 preferred.
Caster is adjustable by wedge shims but I wouldn't mess with it unless it's getting close to 0.

Thanks that will help. I'm thinking caster may be a little out after the truck was lifted. Some of the steering components showed wear, so I replaced all worn parts, and it wants to wander a bit, light steering , and the steering wheel doesn't return to center very well.
