Setting Caster

[Slander]

How’s that ride up front? Looks like that’s sitting at ride height on its own weight but your spring is darn near flat. Shallow shackle angle too! I used Wilson’s formula.

Update on this now that I have been driving it around since April. Rides great on road now that it's off the bumps, same performance off-road and I doubled my uptravel to 4". Offroad I had it up to like 20 on some Harlan KY connecting trails (dirt trail with roots and softball sized rocks tossed in) and it rode and handled fine.

I used Wilson's formula on the rear, fucked it all up and ended up eyeballing it like I did when I built the front.

I was going to ask what you were running. I've been getting the general consensus from the masses.....

Any more thoughts on wheelbase affecting the castor angle? The new build is going to be around 115" with steering 9's. was going to try and shoot for at least 7 degrees in the front and maybe a little less in the rear, with my pinion angles being tilted down slightly less than perpendicular to the ground.

I'll be honest, I'm pretty clueless about rear caster.

Looking back as my rig got longer I was adding caster in along the way. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not though. IIRC I'm 113wb and 8° caster in front and it works mint.

Cool. I was going to shoot for 7-8 in the front and around 4-5 in the rear on the new axles.
