I've finally got the truck back on the road today. 2" Terrafirma lift coils, extended stocks, rose jointed rear arms, 3 degree castor corrected front arms, new steering shock, new ball joints, all new bushes, new bolts, u-joints, brake lines, new 285/75/16 KM2s, etc.
First road test, the truck goes straight down the road regardless of speed, but it does not return to center after a corner. I'm a little disappointed, considering most manufacturers say you can do a small lift without correcting castor. I guess I should have bought the 6 degree, but that seemed overkill at the time. I'm going to take it to an alignment shop to see what it is right now. I would hate to have to buy another set of front arms, I want it to drive well...although that's probably asking too much, considering what it is.
Here's what it's set at:
Any suggestions???
For those thinking of installing the Terrafirma Corrected front arms...here's what they don't tell you:

Here's what it's set at:
- KMs @ 32 psi
- front and rear axles parallel to each other, thanks to the rear adjustable arms
- 1/16" toe out, specs say 3/64-3/32
Any suggestions???
For those thinking of installing the Terrafirma Corrected front arms...here's what they don't tell you:
- The Terrafirma arms use the wider bushes on them, so after having them installed, the center collar on the bushing is 2 1/8" wide. The narrow bushing is 1 7/8"...so get out the grinder and take off 1/8" from each side, 1/4" total. They fit on the axle with a little more than 1/8" space on each side between the mount....what a PITA!!
