Front Axle Relocation kit (15 Viewers)

[lumbee1]

I've always been interested in doing the front axle relocation (pushing the axle slightly forward from the rear radius arm mounts). I purchased the RedLine axle relocation kit. 80 Series DIY Front Axle Relocation Kit - Red Line Land Cruisers RL1080 (SN2-19) - Red Line Land Cruisers - https://redlinelandcruisers.com/product/80-front-axle-relocation-kit/ however I'm slightly concerned that springs/shock alignment will be off more than expected and cause binding.

Anyone with experience with this kit? I saw that @Box Rocket created his own version of the axle relocation kit.

You could also contact Delta V to look at their radius arms to do what you're looking for.

Delta Vehicle Systems - FJ/FZJ80/LX450 Caster Correcting Front Radius Arms

If your rig is lifted, you NEED to fix the caster! Make sure you get all the extra flex your lift offers by installing our narrower arms.

There are a lot of people running things that move the axle forward around an inch. A bunch of people have done various DIY things (pretty sure Broski has something on his and his rig is pretty well sorted), Delta's arms correct caster and move it forward, Eimkeith has a solution that moves the mount forward an inch and drops it two inches (corrects caster and moves the axle forward). 1" seems to be pretty well established as safe and effective.
