Question for the experts. Recently went from an all terrain tire (Duratrac) to mud terrain tire (Cooper STT Pro). No other changes. The Duratracs wore even. Alignment is confirmed as in spec. The steering requires constant correction and likes to wander constantly. Is this the nature of a mud...

I appreciate you for providing so much information.

That’s what I’m aiming for. A more comfortable driving experience overall. Thanks!

Do your brackets require cutting and welding? I am on the fence about trimming my diff mount brackets.

Is the welding optional? Don’t know many welders around this area. I don’t hardcore offroad. More onroad driving and occasional service trails.

Thanks for the information. I don’t have any plans to do much larger lift at this time. Sounds like caster plate may be the best option. I see a lot of 4 degree and 5 degree plates, so that would put me between 3.5 and 4.5 degrees after correction.

Do you mind sharing which manufacturer? The ones I find online require grinding of the existing radius arm mounts to the axle.

My driver side radius arm has ABS and brake lines attached. I would need to lengthen those. Is there an easier - more cost effective solution?

Caster plates to the diff mount appear to require some grinding of the diff mount. Is this assumption correct or is there a manufacturer that doesn’t require cutting or welding?

The steering feels loose is my only concern. Didn’t know if the negative caster would lead to any other issues associated with the powertrain. Wish they made the bolt on drop bracket that didn’t interfere with the ABS / brake lines, but I haven’t found any. The job would involve extending those...

Question for the experts - Should I worry about correcting this caster (-0.5)? Purchased with a 2” lift installed. I have a 93, so it appears ABS lines are mounted to the radius arms. Drop bracket is likely not an option, so would need caster correction plates on diff. How concerning is -0.5 degree?
