The main goal is to get approximately 4ish * back on your castor.
There are lots of pics on this..

That makes sense. I did get my numbers backwards. So with rotating my pinion up 12-14*, I need to turn the opposite of what I said and add 4* when rotating the knuckles past 0 for a total turn of 16*-18*. OK that really makes more sense than what I said. That's what I get for thinking too much.
One more thing that confuses me. If the knuckles are rotated forward towards the front of the rig (pinion pointed up towards T-case) is that positive or negative caster?
As for buying an axle already set up, that defeats learning how to work on my own rig. Becuase I can ask these stupid questions, I have always been able to work things out and do things properly.
