Re: Make it handle

Excellent information I'm getting started on my own project and I wanted to back up a little bit to what you had discussed earlier. You said that increasing caster on these trucks will help with the handling, what is a good target caster angle? Also, do you have any ball-park figures on what roll center height to shoot for? I bought FSGP4 so I can analyze what moving some of the suspension points will do, but the program doesn't give you any idea what is good or bad. And back on the current subject, would a 1 1/4" front bar be a good place to start?...and what size bar would be good to start with on the rear of a trailing arm set-up? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to learn all I can before the fab work begins
