Anybody wanna buy some Camburg's

 

So what snap ring position is your lower spring seat in on the 5100 with the OME 887 coil ??? @Unchained 5150

 

The lowest setting as per OME and 5100 so " 0 " POINT

 

Well my recommendation stands .... Putting an OME lift coil on the Bilstein at the zero mark is not the same since the coil you're using is longer in length and a higher rate. So if you have a 3" lift coil on the stock position on a Bilstein it will be more than 3". Hence why you'd be on the lower side lower of positive caster.

1) Use the OME coil spec'd for your truck #885 and use the Bilstein snap ring positions to dial your ride height a little lower than it is now since it makes sense for your truck being more than 3" lifted right now with the coils your're running.

or

2) Set your camber to zero (for no tire wear) and caster is what it is and drive it ...... until you buy something that may give you what you're looking for.

I was about to type a different response by why bother. As stated I will make sure I tell everyone that even thinks about going above 2.5 to buy another product like Light Racing UCA's and not Camburg's. Plus (usually) anyone that uses the OME 885 coil uses a spacer on top of it to achieve just about a 3 inch lift. You sound like a noob to the lift world and you work for Camburg. Kind of embarrassing to see the responses you make.

 

Here's some instructions for when everyone gets their fleshlights. No time wasted!!

 

Just peed myself a little

 

Lol

 

Does increasing caster give you a little bit more room from the front rear fenderwell? I have 275/70/17 bfg ko2s with ome 885/bilstein 5100 lift and lr uca and currently stunning on the driver's side in reverse at full turn on the cab mount. What are my options?

 

1. Free fleshlights.... FUCK YES!!! @snowsk8air2 get in on this shit!

2. as stated the 887 coils have been shown to get right around 2.75ish +- .25in of lift with a 5100 set at a 0 setting (which at a 0 setting provides an exact copy to the stock shock ride height)

3. OP i vote for getting camber at 0 or slightly negative, then live with what your caster ends up at.

Yup you could definitely pull the tire forward by moving the front cam all the way inward and rear one all the way out shifting the outter end of the LCA forward. Then use the Light racing UCA to fine tune caster n camber adjustments like a boss.

 

Just here for the dick toys and oddly uninformed posts from that Camburg dude.

Mainly for dick toys though.

 

BEER AND FLESHLIGHTS.... omg best thread ever!

 

Positive caster tilts the top of the spindle rearward or pushes the lower ball-joint forward depending on what you're using to adjust caster correction. Since we're talking about upper arms we'll assume the arm is correcting geometry, so at turn it will bring the tire closer to the cab mount since the arm has pulled the upper ball-joint/uniball position rearward. Less caster would give you more clearance. Hence why you need to trim the body mount sometimes.

You guys can get back to your fleshlight discussion now.

This is what I did. Moved the tire plenty far enough away from the fender and cab mount. Worked beautifully.

 

The trick is to max out the lower caster cam and set the camber cam all the way positive(rear cam out, front cam in)and correct caster(if needed)and camber at the adjustable upper balljoint on the Light Racing arms.

 

I was discussing more or less caster correction in the upper arm only since that's what this whole thread is about. More caster in the upper arm brings the spindle/knuckle rearward and vice versa with less.
@Blackout14

 

Easiest way to explain it without a CAD drawing .... lol

Keep the lower ball-joint stationary, the center line of the wheel is roughly 4" above the lower ball-joint. Tilting the spindle/knuckle rearward at the upper ball-joint will also bring the wheel position rearward. The motion ratio is not the same, so if you move the upper ball-joint rearward back 2" it doesnt move the wheel back 2", but it does move it rearward closer to the firewall. An arm that moves the upper ball-joint less back meaning less caster would have the tire further away from the firewall.

We're just talking about upper arms here. Yes when you adjust the lower arm it will also change wheel position too.

Make sense?

Im done for the night ... gotta be up at 4:30am to get to work. Gotta not call customers back, not email them back and deceive them into our products bright and early lol .... oh wait ... that doesnt happen
