RE: no camber change

this is not optimal. ideally you want 6-8* at full droop/compression. this helps with turning.

the truck is actually a 67 chevy with a 95 cab and matching protruck glass. The rear link is pulling around 28 inches.

I had my wires crossed. it has 6degrees with no change throughout its cycle.

[empire231]

is he gonna be selling these kits after he does some testing? or is it just for the family?

[NOODLE]

Its not a kit but he is always willing to build when he has time.He built this truck from its stock form. It races MDR 1400 and is a very nice truck. Got second at the night race!!!!

I think what Total was saying is that there should be some camber change. As much as possible you want the tire's contact patch to be flat on the ground regardless of chassis roll. The harder the surface, the more important this will be.
