    Well it's 12:30am, couldn't sleep truck was bugging me about the steering, sooo, I re jigged the suspension and made sum angle of the dangle tweeks, truck can turn ALOT better now and the alignment is closer to stock but with sum added castor
    BUMP: 8.1* Castor, 5.5* Camber
    Ride height: 4.5* Castor, 1* Camber
    DROOP: 2.8* Castor, 1.6* Camber

    These are numbers with the cams centered in the tabs...I figure these numbers are a good center point for adjustability.

    Now I got to tweek my fixture a lil bit....that's why you tack shit first.

    ...too much shit to list.
    1/32" toe in. Since truck is RWD (most the time) the rear tires "push" the vehicle which makes the front tires toe out on asphalt just a touch.

    If I remember correctly a little too much castor is better than not enough. More castor should help the vehicle feel more stable and steer more predictably, versus too little which can make it feel twitchy when under way.

    Yup, too much tho like wayyy too much and it'll shake, the more you have the heavier the steering is too. I made the tweeks cause I didn't like how the steering was at bump and droop I want the cv to be the limiting factor in everything so I can bump and strap to that

    Good thinking, if that wasn't taken into consideration you could be grinding cv joints when you droop or bump while steering.

    Cool. You gonna do some kinda internal gusseting? Did you ever consider doing tubing for lca like all pro? I think the plate design is superior, though. Seems inherently much stronger.
