As far as the caster and camber before and after all the tech does is flex the suspension to insure the before and after look different making it appear they have been adjusted. This smoke and mirrors works because the alignment equipment spits out two decimal digits of resolution.
OP, if you find the unit tiresome to drive it is because of too little +caster.
IMO, for best results, your caster should be over +6.0 degrees.

I don’t think this is the case at all personally.... they guy came out and talked to me before hand and during and afterwards and I explained the caster issue and what I have read. This was a large shop that does a lot of this style chassis and other larger trucks.
This is not my profession so at some point I have to take what he says and his opinion since the guy does this for a living.
The rig drove straight down the road and there was a lot less back and forth. I also changed the sway bar which is a huge improvement for these units to start with. I think each rig is going to be different
