Het dit so twee of drie jaar terug op G60 Patrol gedoen. Caster angle 100% dieselfde gehou. Hy ry lekker en sleep maklik op A frame. Traction bars voor en agter opgesit om axle wrap te voorkom.

Grips... The caster correction was that done while welding on the spring perches or did you use correction shims?

Speaking under correction, but...

Sakkie converted Granny (His Frontier) to SFA (using a Hilux rear diff).
Then he changed it to SOA.
Then it rolled down a mountain.

SFA & SOA do not stability give...

Why don’t you guys just buy Jeeps? SOA comes standard

Actually leaf springs are inherently stable.

It’s only when you start adding things like rotating shackles that things can get interesting

I am still spring under but need to correct the caster angle after the suspension lift.
Been looking for a local supplier of caster shims but no one locally knows what I am talking about.

Maniac 4x4 made mine. Basically wedges under the axle mounts that rotate the axle upwards.

While welding the perches.

Build a jig where you can pre-set diff caster and camber before installation.
