3degree castor bushes or 5degree castor plates?

[udm]

Hi, I lifted the 80series by 4", so now I had to find out how far the castor was... I got it checked at JAX (tyre shop), and the new castor values are -4.35degree... then I went to a 4x4 suspension place and was told to fit 5degree castor plates, and then to a 2nd 4x4 suspension place was told that 5degree plates is to much and should use 3degree bushes, I personally prefer the plates. Plates and bushes nearly cost the same, it[s only up to deciding what to use.
To the question, what are you guys using and how do you find the drivability of the cars?

Castor plates if it is a real 4" lift. 4" Plates will be $250. If it is really only a 3 inch lift go for castor correction bushes $105. Free Delivery.

You said your caster angle is - 4.35 degrees it should be around 2.5 degrees positive so you need around 7 degrees of correction, don't worry about what lift you have you know how far it's out.
Even the 5 degree plates are only going to get you around .5 degrees positive your steering will be OK but it won't be great.
