I've tracked an issue with the steering to the castor change caused by the open driveline/rearend swap? Thanks,

I've seen pics with the axle under the spring, but maybe it was a 3/4 ton? I'll keep working on the castor issue. Thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 916 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 916 | 3/4 ton has rear axle under the springs. 3/4 ton also has front caster shims that have a larger angle than the 3100 shims (if you're looking for more caster).
