hey guys long time reader, occasional poster. i really want to lift big, but i'm weary of all the things that will arise in the process, namely caster/pinion adjustment. i have hear of rotating knuckles, and sounds good but i'm not sure how you would accurately do that, so i thought something of my own...
it would be a sleeve with an ID equal to the OD of the axle tubes so it just fit over them. the sleeve would be maybe 5 or 6 inches long. on either end, there would be hash marks for every degree. on the axle tubes, i would draw straight line to represent the 0* marks on the sleeve. then i would cut the tube all the way through. put the sleeve on the housing side of the tube and line up the 0*mark with the line. the i would insert the wheel side tube and match its line up with how many more or less degrees of caster i wanted. carefully weld it back together and go wheel. does anyone have any opinions on whether or not this would be useful/a good idea?
