72 Ford pulling truck, highboy style frame,changed front springs to 2 leaf 79 Ford F-250 springs and now the front end has 0 degrees caster. Will this make truck jump or bounce? Where should I need caster to be? This is pulling truck only no street driving. Thanks

I don't think it would matter.you can always put some wedges in it to see if it changed any but IMO for pulling bring it in a little positive on the toe and let'r eat! Cool

I dont think thats a problem, your hitch height is usually were you get the bounce from, or not running hard tires in the rear,,, at least in my experiences
