Re: My caster mod (with pictures)

So I decided not to be lazy and went outside and measured the gap between the saddle and the sleeve. Turns out that the smallest gap is on the outside of the saddle, or the side that is closest to the side of the truck. From the closest point to the outer sleeve of the bushing is 0.63". Looks like 5/8 is gonna be the best I am able to do for caster gain on this one. That'll leave me .005" of "wiggle" room between the sleeve. I wonder why mine is so much closer than everyone else's?
