Re: Make it handle

With stock steering, the inner TRE pivit is too high. Computor analisys shows it should move down about 5/8" to help eliminate bump steer. We usually focus on the inner TRE, because moving the outer TRE means modified spindles. - (or rod-end type and other mods)As luck would have it, "tipping" the spindle to gain + caster will also raise the outer TRE, so this could easily turn out to be a 'win-win' mod.

As far as wheel position, with a dropped spindle, the wheel will move about 1/2 the distance of the LBJ. So if we move the LBJ forward 1 1/4", the wheel will move about 5/8". Yes, different drop or stock spindles will move a different amount. The more the drop, the less the wheel will move.
