So this weekend I got a chance to drive one of my friends LX450 and noticed that his steering felt tighter as in it would center more easily and it required more force to turn. To me this means he has more positve caster. The thing is he is running the OME heavy springs (from ClownMidget to be exact) with Mr. Gasket spacers in front and no caster bushings.
On my truck I am running Slee arms, J springs and 20mm of spring packers all around. My truck sits maybe .5 to 1 inch higher than his and he has no extra weight were as I have the Kaymar bumper with goodies. So why would my truck handle lighter than his? I don't know the caster of my truck stock and last time I had it checked without the spacers it was 2.9 and 3.4 degrees positive. I want to check it again to see if it's changed any (at the time I had it checked my sway bar was on upsidedown, don't ask).
Does the caster on these trucks vary that much from truck to truck?
