    Not true at all.. We drive circles around lift arms steady and can keep our pinion angle a lot closer to a lift arm these days than you'd think. I will also add, we can also do stuff with a pull bar...

    LR bar angles..

    So, just wondering if anyone has used the longer lower/shorter upper stuff. I've been thinking of doing since before I've heard of guys doing it, just never committed to making the holes where I...

    Masters is right. A linear spring is a linear spring. And in order to change your drop load, you need to adjust the ride height, and if you're being teched and riding the line of passing, or trying...

    Hike on throttle comes from the left (and right) rear trying to move faster than the car. The suspension links and springs/shocks turn forward movement into partial vertical and partial longitudinal...

    The feedback you get from your tires comes from your lead not the caster itself. You can give yourself the same feedback in your wheel with 5 degrees of caster as 10 by adjusting your lead by moving...

    If you offset the spindle so the ball joints were ahead of contact patch you could achieve a negative caster with a positive trail, meaning it would still create a self centering affect.

    I guess a better way to ask that question Masters is why would you want to unload the LR when you unwind?

    Caster

    Has anyone messed with taking a bunch of caster out of RF, (even negative) but using combination of tire size, offset spindles, spindle drop and KPI/scrub to keep some feedback in the wheel? Just...

    One thing that could be affecting your side bite mid turn is also your drop load. Too much drop load in LR can hurt your side bite I've found. Steer and thrust play a role too but I'd be looking at...

    Brett 4 I believe it works better with a z link and spring on cage or housing, just because the flat bar does take a bit of A/S away from the RS. But yes that's where I have had the most success was...

    Dave, if you run a short pull bar with 0° to 5° uphill at ride height not only will you slow the pinion rotation down to almost nothing, but the increase in wheel load is considerable not to mention...
