Quick question. Dropped radius arms, is caster correction added into the design of the arm? Or is dropping the arm correction in itself? Thanks for any help. Tim

Droppped radius arms are designed to keep the correct caster by just dropping the arm and also by keeping the rear pin parrallel to the bushes for less wear and more flex than say plates, eg for a 4 inch lift as a general rule you drop your radius arm 4 inchs, their are other factors such as tire size that will determine the exact size of the drop radius arm required.
Their would be no point in putting the caster correction in the end of the arm only because you may as well use plates .

Hope that makes sense. :)
