    Caster Correction for Dobinson C97-146VT 2.5" Springs

    I bought a 97 LC with 267k miles back in Aug 2023, been lurking on Mud since then but first time posting a thread. I put in the Dobinson 2.5" VT lift kit this past Christmas and went with the 2.5* polyurethane caster correction bushings. Currently running 35s but plan to go up to 37s. When I...

    Need help with caster adjustment

    I’ve replaced my mystery OME springs (1.75-2”?) with heavy load linear Robinson springs (3”), this netted me about 1.5” lift. After doing the alignment, my caster is a -1 degree. However, I DO have the OME caster correction kits installed when OME lift was installed by previous owner. From what...

    Early vs late 60 front axles … same?

    Doing some research here and can’t find anything on this subject via search. Early 60s, before the transmission spacer was added, have a shorter front driveshaft with a CV joint at the t-case end and a single u-joint at the diff. Later 60s with the transmission spacer have a longer “regular”...

    80 Series Caster Advice

    Pardon my ignorance in advance- read till I’m blue in the face on all the different post, more conflicted than ever. Running avg of 3.5” lift. OME Springs, Dobinson shocks. New steering box made a world of difference. Tracks straight now, with zero wondering, just follows road crown...

    Bump steer, Torque steer, break steer, generally difficult to point where I want to go.

    I bought a pre lifted fj60, it's on 33s and there seems to be plenty of room, so a 2" or 3" lift. The PO has proven to make some odd decisions, so it may have not been aligned/shimmed after the lift. When on a bump or rutted road, have to work pretty hard to keep it going straight and on the...

    Got 80 Series Caster Correction?

    So my '97 80 has always felt tender on the highway, especially at speed; where a sneeze can send you into another lane and you don't dare try to change lanes quickly to avoid something in the road for fear of rolling. Basically, oversteer, which makes driving the truck on long drives tiresome...

    What if anything actually changed re caster between pre-8/92 and 8/92-up 80 series?

    When the big design change happened from 7/92 to 8/92, and the factory caster setting was apparently changed from about +1.9 to +3.0 degrees, what exactly was changed specific to the caster setting? Were the radius arms themselves changed? Was the design of the front axle housing changed so that...

    FS: 80 Series caster plates

    Brand not known. Look like Slee, Iron Man, and Metal Tech. May be a local member remake, not really sure. Anyways, they worked just fine. I just pulled off to go with another type. They are used, kinda dirty, but totally fine. Not bent or anything weird. I have hardware that came off the truck...

    Caster Correction for a 2.5" Lift

    I've been reading all of the pro's and con's of correcting caster with bushings, drop brackets, and plates, and I think for my mild lift (2.5" OME) I'd be better off with the drop brackets in the long run. I'd really like to run plates, but it seems like they're all designed for 4"+ of lift and...
