Does anyone have any thoughts about the durability of offset (caster correcting) trunnion bearings over the stock units? Pros/cons? Thanks.

Yes, pretty common in Australia to use them to dial in a bit of negative camber. I know Darren McRae sets his about -2* camber. Having driven his truck a little, it has better turn in with less understeer when going hard into corners.The only place I've seen people concerned about them is here on 'mud, where hardly anyone uses them. They seem to be much more commonly used in Australia. Someone posted here that they like to use them to adjust the camber for some reason (better handling, I think).
I wish I'd known about them when I did my lift.

I guess I'd say more common than in the US. Maybe I'm wrong?I wouldn't say they are commonly used here.
Autocraft definitely uses them to add a couple of degrees camber
Bumping this up. I rarely had to tighten the studs on the 80 when I had the 'normal' trunion bearings, but after installing in the caster bearings, it's now a regular event. Wondering if smaller bearing = more play?

Sounds like the studs need to be retorqued to me...
