There is a thread on a Caster mod in the suspension section. I did the mod and drilled my locating holes 5/8" back to move the lower control arm ahead and was easily able to run 4 degrees of caster. A couple of hours work and a 5/8" drill bit in the drill press is what it took.

Never had a problem with camber. Always came out good on alignment. I did switch to the 73 to 87 control arms on my 66 when I dropped it and also installed the longer mount bolts when I did it. I am running 2" springs. Camber gain is not bad with this setup. Now the 65 with air had a good bit of camber when aired out but at normal ride height was at 0. What are you trying to do with you trick?
