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 the mounts for the arms are slightly different? Or were the mounts welded to the chassis changed?
I'm 100 percent determined to get rid of the Superflex radius arms and go back to standard style aftermarket ones suited for the lift. I use 4" lift arms with 3" springs due to the lower factory caster setting that is supposed to be how the pre-8/92's are configured.
As part of this, I want to replace the front axle assembly and build up a replacement. I had a nutcase thought for a while of trying to get a brand new bare housing and go from there, but I'm not sure what the actual design differences are between early and later 'phases' of the 80 build.
