IIRC, you have 4.5" coil springs. I would think the most you could get away with is 4 degree. I had to use 4 degree bushings with a 3.5" spring. A 7 degree bushing caused front drive shaft binding.
Are you looking for more caster?

A 7 degree bushing caused front drive shaft binding. I was looking at replacing my current bushings with some new ones and I wasn't sure what to go with. Still fighting a random death wobble, so I figured more castor couldn't be bad,but I also don't want to bind the drive shaft.

Anything is possible but I don't think you can afford it.

When I put the long arms in the bushings were wore, so I had to make an educated guess on what orientation to put them in. Its been bugging me so I gonna change them out for new ones. Once I get them in, i'm going to take it over and have the alignment checked. I ordered a set of 4degee bushings so we will see how they work.

Ugh. Nightmare. More caster = more stable. Camber helps depending on road conditions. Let us know what numbers they come up with on the rack.
How are your steering components looking? Loose steering box at frame Worn tie rod ends Worn ball joints Worn drag link end Worn / loose track bar bushings Your shocks better not be worn! Have you had a friendly elf hop behind the wheel and actuate the wheel so you can get a good look at what is going on under there?

The good Steering box is new and tight All the heims are good on the linkage New bushings in the track bar, but ordered another set just in case Ball joints are tight Shocks are great Also installed some camber shims, so the camber is looking a lot better. The bad The upper track bar bolt hole is a little out of round which I think maybe my problem. Its tight and doesn't move when my elf moves the wheel in the garage, but im not convinced that it doesn't moves when load is applied to it on the road. Going to look at it tonight, I think I'm going to order these weld washer, once I figure out what size I need. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/FIXIT.htm Anything else I should check?
