I used a sliding bevel and a protractor to set up mine. Use the protractor to set the angle and eyeball it from there with the bevel against the brake rotor. I found that my tyres hit the leaf springs before I reached the desired 38 degrees (no ring on COREfields).

don't care!

Im running standard toyota innners and longfields. With the traction control in its latest most advanced form, i can get almost positive traction to both wheels, with heaps less torque and strain going to my axles. I have the bumpstops set at stock! Hopefully this will make my rig very reliable yet ultimately very open to a caning!

ok i read that post from PBB and it says to disconnect the tie rod and drag link and back off the stops, then turn the wheel with the hubs in and then turn it left or right at the same time till u feel it start 2 bind.......

done this and i can actually steer it further now and i cant feel the slightest bit of bindage wots the go ?????


should i just leave them set where they were b4 ??
