When I looked @ their install info, I could see the distance variation (fore/aft) of the control arm shaft vs the x-member in images. So there is a benefit of additional Caster but it's nothing one couldn't get w/their stock arms as well.
That is the explanation I was given the signal time I got someone on the phone with CPP. The lower Coilover mount is the issue for me. I could rework that to allow longer shock travel. Then I figure run into the same issue the QA1 truck above was having. The lower shock mount is an issue when it comes to ground clearance. This boils down to give and take and the purpose of the truck in general though.
