Re: Porterbuilt control arms on stock crossmember?

On the factory front end we tested, the static castor was 2.6 degrees and through a total of 4 inches of travel (2 inches of compression (bump) and 2 inches of extension (droop) the most castor we saw was a whopping 2.72 degrees.

When running our forward arms, you will gain up to an additional 5 degrees of castor. If that's not enough, we can leave the upper arm in our "standard" dimension and combine it with the lower forward arm, and you will be able to gain another couple degrees.

We sell the arms as a pair, or can seperate them as well.

That's pretty much what i was looking for. From what i've read sounds like the extra castor really helps these trucks handle. Maybe tax time i can order a set. Thanks for the response.
