Re: Make it handle
Tony @ Ridetech.
I took this off the Ridetech website but it doesn't state the caster angles. Does this mean the Strong arms have the needed caster correction? M5 Geometry - Geometry of a suspension starts with the position of the frame mounts and the height of the spindle, not the shape of the control arm. However, there are a few small things in control arm design that can make a big difference in how a vehicle drives and performs. •We create extra caster potential by adjusting the fore and aft position of the ball joints. At the same time we make sure the wheel is properly positioned in the wheel-well so your new 18" wheels fit like they should! •The balljoint camber travel is re-centered to accommodate the new lowered ride height so the ball joint doesn’t bind during extreme suspension movement. •The perimeter of the StrongArms is contoured to allow maximum wheel clearance and turning radius. •All shock mounts, airspring mounts, and swaybar mounts are integrated into the design so you don’t have to finish the engineering in order to enjoy your ride! StrongArms™ are optimized to allow proper camber adjustment at your new lowered ride height without using a large stack of shims. |

Re: Make it handle
Is the increased caster 'potential' on Ride Techs a-arms from both top & bottom arms or ?? I didn't know if the uppers or lowers were responsible for the increases.
