The Caster change on the front will add to the caster a few degs but still stay in the OK range. What is worse is my Daughters 1 ton sinks about 6-8" in the back with a ton in the bed. That angle is 2-3 times more the wrong way than the 6X6s. Nice part is the 6X6 will have a better Positive Caster loaded at the time you can use it more steering. This couple of degs does not add up to a problem. Caster changes all the time just driving, how it is loaded, tire size etc. So they pick a Deg that is best for there design and use it. It does not mean you can't put weight in the bed and change it using the truck for what there intended to do. Drive shaft angles are more important but mine also are with in specs. Putting a Very Heavy MU2 Braden Winch on the frame ends sitting out from the center of the front axle changes the Caster Angle also from factory. This is normal that is why you have a range it can operate in or we would be back to rigid suspension to keep it at constant. It's not that big a deal compared to what really big tires do but they look cool and you can over look/work around the negatives. Most vehicles that can carry something in a bed sit higher empty?
