That is what im trying to figure out now. I going to set up the front end, and it is retubed, so we havent set up the angle on it yet. The front i am not running a CV driveline just a standard...Any ideas what to set the front up at?

Just some avg. #'s to go by....

Your caster should around 5-7* and your pinion agle is not as important...
IF your drivesahft binds, or you want some more pinion angle than your gonna have to cut and turn the knuckles...
CASTER 1st.... my.02

Thanks Tin Bender...that gives me a good number to start with!!! I can always shim a few degrees if needed....on a large lift would you do 7??? Im running 2.5" yj's right now and may go bigger...
