What will you change on the new build?

This truck was done to run the UA and be a hardcore wheeling truck. The body work was done so the truck looks good from 20ft. I would like to build a similar truck, but on 37's with a turbo. I think it would be a really nice expedition / hard wheeling truck. This one is pretty big.
We did this one to see what is involved. Now I want to build a show truck for the shop.

How would you rate the trucks on road drivability?
|
It drives better than any lifted truck we have done with 6" plus lift. The steering linkages came out very flat so there is no bump steer. We drove it for 1000 miles on the road on UA with no issues. Also have been to Moab and back. The power is much bettern than a 1FZFE and it will cruise at 75/80 mph.

How much caster did you end up with?
|
We never measured it when it was done. During the build, we set it up to about 4 degrees. That is one of the advantages of working with the fabricated housing. We set the pinion angle to be perfect for a double cardan shaft, then we rotated the balls until we got the caster we wanted. We did take it to have the caster measured during the build and it was close to 4 degrees.
