Some front end Questions..

Does anyone know what position the lower control arm bolts should be in for max caster? Full forward or all the way back?

Will it be ok to use a 3-6" drop pitman arm with 2-3" of lift ?

I have load range "E" tires rated for 80psi... I have always kept 80 psi in them. Is it safe to drop down to 50 or 60 psi ?

Is there a certain way aftermarket coil springs need to be installed ?

I am trying to get my "DW" issues under control and will be totally ripping my front end apart for a rebuild. Thanks for any help !

- You get more caster when the cam bolt is adjusted forward pushing the lower link out. That will make the axle "lean back" giving it more caster.

- I'd try to do with out any drop arm first. If you don't have bumpsteer, you shouldn't need one.

- usually there is some sort of "pig tail" wound into the end of springs and it fits into a relief on the axle end.
