You can redrill the locating holes in the stock LCA shaft by 3/4" to gain caster on the stock arms.
Thanks for the response and information. I understand we don't get a large benefit out of the arms other then my personal piece of mind. With the cupped arms I at times carry the concern of the bags rubbing if the bags shift in any kind of way. Although I don't have any scaring on my new bags my previous bags which were a little larger had some minor scaring on them.

I was just looking for peoples experience with arms they have ran on these trucks. Again thank you and Scoti for the knowledge. Scoti always jumps in and has helped me out many times.
