was wondering does mastersbilt have built in right rear lag. I measured from rear axle to the 4 bar perch and with the bars 15 1/2" on both bottoms and 17 1/2 on tops. the right rear was make one inch seems like a lot

There is RR trail. I don't think it is that much.

Does a 2010 Rocket have RR trail ? (more than the 1/4" from the radius rods)

Wouldn't the measurement be from the motorplate to the axle?

I squared a smack down car in the late 2000's it had 3/4" of RR trail built into it with the rear bars at equal lengths.

Is this on a Smack, GenX, or LXT? It almost sounds like you have the bars in the incorrect holes for the length you're using.

And keeks is correct, you should be measuring trail/lead from a line on the shop floor exactly parallel with the mid-plate.

I was thinking 5/8" for the same vintage. So that is reassuring.

Anyone know how much trail a 2011 gen x car has?

One thing to keep in mind is that "static" trail is going to be dependent on where you end up on your LR ride height. Assuming RR ride height is at spec.

My 2007 Smackdown was 3/4" back on the right side based on it's relation to the mid-plate (it isn't anymore). Even when it was hooked up it'd drive you straight out towards the wall. I didn't like that feeling.
