My caster is what is measured at the wheel without taking into account the ride height or frame angle. Your manual should show you a formula on getting the corrected caster angle. My frame angle is 2.5°. So my corrected caster is 3°. Also the manual talk about ride height of the front suspension, this give me the range for my caster setting. Both measurements is used to determine corrected caster for different load on the truck. Even my 79 Chevy pickup 1/2 ton maintenance manual make reference to frame angle for setting the caster.

Hope this help.
