I'll get into the details of the truck, but first my question.

I have some CPP tubular arms with newer ball joints. I like the idea of getting more caster out of the front. I'm not sure how big of a difference it will make as the truck runs the freeway nice as it. (I think the rag joint is done for though) But I am shooting for a truck that will out handle my current DD.

I see some people needing to clearance their arms or crossmember for up travel. But what about with tube arms? Also, I see some needing to cut the spring pocket some. I'm not afraid of doing this, but want to make sure it's worth it. What caster degree are we talking stock wise?
