Re: 99 Silverado Buildup
Alright here is the pictures from last weekend before I tore it all off and put the stock stuff back (sunday) on so I could drive to work monday. Remember these are the mock up arms and not the finals. I cut out some quick plating for the upper uniball to sit in and for the arm tubing to connect to. Final design with be different but same geometry. Cycled 20 inches the night before (sat) with the tire tucked as far up into the fenders as possible. Decided a more reasonable number would be 18 unstrapped and in the end, 16/17 strapped. Had to change caster and camber numberous times but it ended up comming out to 14 degrees of caster at bump and 5 at droop. that is with the front end of the truck jacked up so i figure it will be more like 12 bump/ 3 droop. camber is in the middle of the oem adjustors so there is plenty of adjustment with those + the heims. extended the wheel base 1.5 inches for firewall clearance and its all very close at full bump.
