Thread: 30-06ai 60 series custom landcruiser build

Can you go back to standard shackles and go spring over axle like a Hilux? That would keep your caster the same.

Another option is drop mounts the same as shackles. This is how some do it on a Hilux for big lifts especially with longer springs. Or if you need to change drive shaft angles then chop and reattach the knuckles.

Myself, I went with caster wedges for a 35mm forward diff push. With only a 50mm lift, ome springs. One day I might consider doing more, but where does it end

Wedges is by far the easiest option, if it will pass cert with Wedges that is what I'll do.
Just have to wait for a response from the certifier.

What tyre size are you going for? With my skinny 33s factory caster wasn't enough at about 2deg from memory. Failed cert on tracking. You really had steer out of a corner. 3deg wedges were just enough to pull straight again and the certifier was happy. From what I've read some people go up to 7 deg with massive wheels. Tom from Toms off-road is in your neighborhood. Pretty sure he told me to aim for 5 when I rang for advice.

Exactly the ones I have. Make sure you get the longer bolts too.

Excellent, I'll need to get my caster measured first so I know what size wedges to get.

Drive shalf universal angles are something you need to keep an eye on. Google is your friend on info to check. Flanges need to be within a couple of degrees parallel of each other for smooth running.
