Thought we could use a post to share specs after a lift. I just installed a metalcloak 3.5 game changer with 37s and upgraded driveshaft.
I'm assuming the pinion angle will change to pointed at tcase since it's a double Carden but I have no clue what stock calls for to tell the alignment shop what to put it at.
Castor... I've seen 5-6 degrees mentioned mostly but I like 7. I'm uses to old school CJs though so what's everyone at there?
That said I understand castor and pinion angle are tied together. If 7 degrees castor is too much then it's too much and pinion angle will stay where it's at.
Lastly I'm thinking of offsetting the axle 3/4 an inch, back in the front and forward in the rear from centered. To compensate for the fact that when fully stuffed the tire will move forward in the front and rearward in the rear compared to ride height. What's y'alls thoughts on that?
