Acceptable Steering Geometry?
Im starting to put my truck all back together and I was wondering if the angles of all my linkage is too extreme. What are the "optimal" angles?
I have a 4" drop pitman arm on the truck now. Here's some pictures.

That'll work, but you'll have some bump steer and probably bind the tie rod at the pitman arm at full droop. Steering off of the top of the pass side knuckle - "crossover steering" - would be better.

I didn't because I swapped in a king pin d60. You can get a kit for yours here: https://www.offroadunlimited.com/oru...idCategory=173
Photobucket sucks. Since they decided to screw all their members, I've been using postimage.org. Way better than PB.
