Spring Perch angle confirmation???

[cruiserbrett]

Can anyone measure the front spring perch angle for me on a stock FJ55 ? I just measured mine('73), in preps for a SOA on the '72 FJ55 I dont have in front of me, and came up with 3 degrees down towards the front on level ground. It has fairly sagging stock springs...

If this doesnt jive, I will have to measure the 72, but trying to get hte extra housing welded and straightened and built for a drop in, but 3 degrees down in front is a little odd, since my caster is top forward about 2 degrees with this setup, on the 73. so, a little double checking is needed...

thanks in advance!

You want stock as in not lifted? If so, I'm out. If lifted but aligned to factory specs is OK, I might be able to help.

hey brett thats is odd. considering the spring pin is centered on pigs so the angle shouldnt change from stock or saggy. also remember that stock castor is 1*, just to double check.

It is odd. I am not sure why, so I guess its time to measure the actual truck thats getting the SOA...
