This gives you a big improvement in caster. It also helps center the wheel in the opening on some years. Most of the benifit is in the increased caster, thats why you move the lower forward and the upper rearward.

I get the change to caster, but what I was wondering was if there was a specific reason for moving the lower 3/4" and upper 1/2" instead of an equal 5/8" each?

....more caster.

**robnolimit** · 02-20-2012, 04:14 PM

when I did the JT, I went 1" on the bottom, and shimmed the top. You need about 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" of offset between the top and bottom ball joints to get the caster in range. There are many ways to do it. Stock C-10's have the wheel too far back, and the lower you go, the more noticable it is. Moving the ball joints in a way that helps cure this gives you a 2 for 1 mod.

Conundrum · 02-20-2012, 06:13 PM

Thanks Rob!

I don't have to worry about moving to wheel forward because I did that when I Zed the frame. So I think i'll go with 5/8" top and bottom then so that my wheels stay centered.

mild2wild · 02-22-2012, 11:17 AM

What are your wheel and tire specs?

**robnolimit** · 02-22-2012, 12:16 PM

We're running 18 x 9 wheels all around, with 275-40-18 BFG KDW

What is the b/s on the wheels and what is the over all height and width on the tires.

Hey Rob, correct me if im wrong but, did you say in an earlier post that if we already had your panhard bar kit that you would take some off the price of the rear sway bar kit? since i already have the trailing arm brackets.

**robnolimit** · 02-25-2012, 12:34 PM

yep, you already have theTA mounts, so you save $25 bucks.

truck farmer · 02-25-2012, 07:44 PM

Thanks Rob, I'll be ordering that shortly. how do I let them know I already have the TA mounts when I order?

Conundrum · 02-28-2012, 06:59 PM

Hey Rob, not wanting to sound pushy but do you think that 3/4" is a safe amount to drop the uca mounting points? I'm getting ready to section crossmember and I am going to incorporate the caster mod as well and was thinking of welding the crossmeber to the frame this time. Just curious, I can wait to weld it in until after the math is done for this mod if it needs more research still.

**robnolimit** · 03-13-2012, 03:44 PM

I'll look for it. We're in thrash mode at the moment, may be wed.

aggie91 · 03-13-2012, 03:53 PM

Thanks, Rob

Congrats on the feature in Street Trucks on JT.

Jack

**robnolimit** · 05-04-2012, 10:45 AM

wheels are 18 x 9, with 6 1/4" bs. I would have liked 5 1/2" bs, but these were donated. Tires net at 27.8 x 10.75

**robnolimit** · 05-20-2012, 10:10 AM

The pan is aluminum, and a fair job to modify. Now, you can get new pans from Speedway, Summit, and Jegs for cheap.

Thanks, thats what i thought, i just wanted to make sure. I measured and an fbody oil pan should fit with no mods, and are avalible fairly cheap.

Schwinn · 11-27-2012, 02:53 PM

Always fun to watch fellow members using there trucks...In this case RACING. Good seeing you again.
How did you do and what did you win? From racing and in show...

And Meeee

**robnolimit** · 05-20-2012, 10:57 PM

I'm so glad the new pans are available now. We used to mod truck pans all the time. It's dirty, and a general pain in the a$$.

hotrod1 · 05-20-2012, 11:50 PM

Hey Rob:

What pan for example?

duallyjams · 08-24-2012, 01:18 PM

What's JT been up to this summer ?

**robnolimit** · 08-24-2012, 03:04 PM

HotRod1, the pans we use mostly are the Holley swap pans for Chevelles and Camaros.
DJ, the JT has been doing shop runs, and landscape duty. On the plus side, we have been donig extensive shock testing and tuning. Next year we should have our own line of custom valved C10 shocks.
