    Isee. What's currently limiting your travel? Up or down? What ratio of Up/Down are you going for?

    Running out of misalignment on the lower uniball but I'm still going to make a few small adjustments. I don't want to bump much higher be cause I want to keep the lower skid at least 4" from bottoming out. I'm shooting for 8 up and 10" down or just 50/50 split.

    Cut it out but I'm not going to use them. I have to get some machined out.

    Forgot to mention the current spec. Strait up is 90* but for ease of reading I will call it 0*

    Bump:
    Camber- -3*
    castor- 15*

    "ride height":
    Camber- -0.5*
    Castor- 7*

    Droop:
    Camber- -6*
    Castor- 0*

    40/60 Split would definitely be do able. 50/50 slightly more difficult I'd think with the way the mounting and everything is on these yotas.

    Are you running the lower Uniball straight out off the LCA?

    Also what's the ratio between your UCA LCA length?

    Do you have a goal Track width?

    I'm always interested in suspension design & engineering, apologizes for all the questions.

    Have you thought about bumping up the caster a degree or two? That is, if you're planning on running 35's.

    You think 50/50 would be too low? I am building it with lift spindles.


    Are you running the lower Uniball straight out off the LCA?
    What do you mean by straight? It does have some angle in it on the y and x axis meaning its not inline with the angle of the LCA from the front or the side.

    Also what's the ratio between your UCA LCA length?
    I'm tried my best to keep the orientation of the lower and upper pivot points the same as the stock spindle for the most part so the upper and lower are extended almost equally but the lower is a little longer.

    Do you have a goal Track width?
    My goal is 4.5"-5" over per side at the hub. I'm not racing this truck ever so total track with wasn't a real factor.


    I'm always interested in suspension design & engineering, apologizes for all the questions.
    No problem that what a forum is made for :cool:

    Because 7* at ride height isn't enough?

    Castor is constantly changing with this front end. Do you mean not to let it zero out at droop?
