    When you adjust caster using cams on LCA's, how do you work that? Is it primarily affected by the angle of the bolts through the LCA mounts/cams or is it a product of the relationship between the positioning of both bolts?

    Both bolts will affect both camber and caster. For me it works out convenient because I adjust both bolts so I get as much castor as humanly possible out of them and luckily my resulting camber is right where I want it.

    What sort of adjustments move caster positive/negative?

    I've been searching google but can't find a breakdown of moving the cams "X" direction moves caster "Y" direction for a vehicle with our set up on suspension.

    Thanks man, I know it's question after question

    Picture it like this. If you move the front cam in and the back cam out it will move the arm at the hub forward, which will change caster. Even if you just move one cam at a time it results in the arm moving forward or backward. You have to adjust the cams together to change camber only

    Edit: Also remember that doing any of this will change toe, you want to adjust toe last after your done with caster and camber

    Mostly all the guys that talk shit on Engage are the ones who do not show up to any desert events. Yes there are some great quality kits ( Total Chaos, Camburg etc..) But I have a lot of friends with Engage kits who use there trucks a lot with no problems. It just cracks me up the guys who talk shit that never show up in the desert or to races
