Do you have power steering? if so 4-6 degrees is good with more being better. If you have manual steering its lower like 2 degrees but Id use more and do a power steering swap. Unfortunetly broncos came with very little caster and even 6 degree bushings sometimes dont get you where you need to be.

The problem will be, when you get to the ideal caster, 8-9 degrees, your front pinion will be pointing at the ground. Cutting and turning the yokes is the only way to achieve both.
