Try for as much positive castor angle you can get after a lift. A lot depends on the shackle length too. You’re lucky to get
2 to 3 degrees. I think ideal is about 5 or 6.

The angle should be as close to the max as specified for stock. Specified is positive 5-7 degrees. Try to get as close to 7 as you can.
