    They should be able to get you 3 degrees caster without using the UCAs, ideally you want them to achieve it that way.

    Yeah. I want a way to vent hot air but I don’t want water in the engine bay.

    We did 4 spot welds on the joint. Its amazing how tiny the play is but how substantial the change is.

    With how much backspacing your wheels have, I think you would rub the resi’s with those brackets.

    Beating a dead horse here but just because you have 3* castor doesn't mean you will clear tires any better than 2*. It all depends on where the castor comes from, the upper or lower control arm.

    4.5 (think that is factory stock).

    even with the location that we put the RR, I was slightly rubbing at full lock on only a few areas of terrain..

    You're dead on! 3° is only for comfortable steering, has jack squat to do with clearing anything

    Some of the best New Mexican food I’ve ever had was at Maria’s in Santa Fe. I’ve contemplated going for dinner several times, it’s worth the 7hr drive. The combo plate with the taco, tamale, and enchilada smothered in green chili is world class!

    yeah that's why I gave up on the idea that I needed to mess with my SPCs after our convo last week and just had the shop do it via the lower settings, specified what I wanted and it worked like a charm. Has me kicking myself for not doing it sooner (before I went and cut up my flares a year ago).

    Not rubbing on the trail anymore on tight turns is such a good feeling after all this time, I can't even tell you.

    jesus, I don't even know of a restaurant I'd consider driving 2 hours round trip for, let alone 7 hours. Must be good
