I did a search but did not come up with any enlightenment on this subject.
With a six inch lift, it seems that there is a fine line between getting the correct pinion angle and not messing up the castor from the rotation. I have read that most people just play until they get minimum vibraton and death wobble they can live with.
Has anyone explored rotating the axle shafts in the housing in order to alter the pinion angle while keeping the 5* +/- negative castor (I think that's right)?
Some have said that they rotate the knuckles but don't elaborate on whether that is by cutting the knuckle weld or tube/pumpkin weld. I would think that you would want to keep the same relation between the inner C and the coil spring bucket/shock mount/LCA mount. Couldn't that be accomplished by rotating the tube assemblies and rewelding.
How difficult is it to remove the plug welds holding the tube in and performing the above mentioned proceedure?
Or am I just overthinking the whole thing?
