Front axle caster vs pinion angle
My setup is in my sig. I hear the lift I have tends to net 4" or a bit better, but I forgot to measure for myself.
I've been running on my new lift for almost 3 months now (2 with the 35's as well) and still have all 8 stock control arms. In my opinion, it drives and handles fine, even on the highway. I wouldn't say it feels like stock, but more than tolerable.
I also still have both stock drive shafts which even the dealer has told me shouldn't give me any issues (although I wouldn't trust them with my garbage).
Given that all feels good, is it better for my drive shaft not to move to adjustable arms in the front? I understand any adjustment in caster is a balancing game with pinion angle, wouldn't my current pinion be ideal for the stock shaft?
Just want to be sure I'm not overlooking some issue leaving the stock arms could cause.
