I wouldn't "max" out the caster. Do it to spec and the truck will track well but turn well at speed. What kind of truck? I've had alignment issues and arguments about my '89 Chevy 1/2 T since new. Lasts guy that worked on it took it to the max in one direction and let it be at that. It needed an offset bushing kit. I asked why they didn't just call me and tell me they needed a kit. Instead, they gave me back a truck that pulled as it has always done.
Got the truck back to them a few days later for the kit install and realignment. It ran straight. A few months later I rotated the tires noticing some bad wear patterns on the fronts. Put the square tires from the back on the front and guess what?
It pulls again. It's become a beater truck, so I've quit putting money into it. One day it's going to stop somewhere on me and I'm going to call a cab and call the junk yard. Or maybe if CA has a program to take 80's cars off the road, I'll soak them for the 1500 credit. I think that came back for certain situations.
But, I digress.
