Really? Bad driveshaft angles produce vibes and cause premature ujoint and possibly bearing wear/failure. Bad caster just gives you big muscles from steering. 
bad caster causes death wobble, no steering return, bump steer, bad ackerman....

It's less of an issue on these trucks if you're at 3" or less lift. Point the pinion where it should be and the caster will be good enough. Move up to 5" lift and then you should be looking at redrilled swivels.

OK I just realized something today not sure if it is an issue, I used the wrong slot in the injectors for the clip, which means they are up in the rail farther then they should be possibly keeping the nozzles from being seated /bottomed out in the intake fully
No fuel leak, is this a non issue? Or will this stop me getting the full possible benifits from these injectors?
Drove it to work today runs great
Edit, rechecked they are fully seated in the intake, guess it doesn't matter on these

Harbor freight tube notcher works great
Brush guard is not what I wanted but we were unable to bend the Dom tubing so had to figure something out

OK broke the handle off my hood release, got a free d2 one with mount spacers
Remove d1 latch and cable
Remove plastic retainer from latch end of d1 cable sheathing ( mine popped off when I pulled it through the firewall grommet)
Run d2 cable, using 2 1/4" self tappers (same length as bolt that held d1 bracket) mount the d2 bracket to the metal area above the plastic kick panel, you need to space it out, I used a thick nut plus d2 spacer on each
Now insides done
Cut loop off d2 cable at latch
Remove 13.5" of sheathing, then cut cable back 6" there is plenty
Press that d1 plastic end onto the new cable housing
Hook cable up to latch and reinstall
Now hood pops with 1 finger cause you have leverage to overcome the latch spring
New d1 cable is 16? From Atlantic British , but this is an upgrade
