The rear tires are still on and sitting on the ground. I can put some under the axle at the same height if I need to?
Im not quite sure what you mean by the shop floor being at 0*? How could I measure that across the distance of the bronco wheelbase?

You have set your caster near 7⁰, but if the rear axle is not at same level as front axle, or shop floor is not horizontal, caster reading will be affected.

I see what you’re saying about the rear being the same height. I can put some jack stands under it and recheck castor.
What would you recommend for the shop floor?

So after work yesterday I jacked the rear up and put it on jack stands. The castor readings did change somewhat from like 7.1 to 6.5. I think I’ll probably just leave it at that. Going to redo those measurements today but I want ri be 100% sure the rear axle is at the same height from the floor AND both axles are level side to side. I’m thinking the shop floor might have a pitch to it.
