You are on the right track, just do not consider the job complete until you get at least +5.0 caster on LH and about +5.5 caster on right hand. Make sure you can see the alignment report. Good luck.
BTW, it is easy to install the sleeves as a DIY project if you are a Red Green type of guy :) PM me for details.
Before I started in an attempt to get our former 23D Aspect handling a bit better, I only had an approximate +1.5 Caster on each side. I could only get a total of +4.5 out of the sleeves but the result was worth the effort. Certainly not a silver bullet by any means but just another addition to the growing list of adjustments I made on that Class C. I also added just a bit more toe for a total of +3/16" which I felt tightened the steering feel some. Camber was way positive when new from Winnebago too which caused exceesive tire wear. New shocks, tires, air bags in the rear, trac bar, heavier sway bars, steering stabalizers and adjusting tire pressures to meet corner weights all helped make our Aspect handle much better.
I was shooting to improve the handling which I accomplished but didn't want to fool myself that it was going to handle "like an SUV". Safe to drive I felt now in modest winds (and we do have winds here in the midwest!) and worth my effort for sure.
