after installing f150 coils and bending the beams it was time to correct the caster. I was at -1.8 degrees caster on both sides with the stock radius arms.
I used 2x2 .250 thick and .250 plate and reused the stock studs and bushings.
Oh, and a lil' diff. than most, I center mounted the radius arms.
I cycled the arms and they clear the trans. pan, exhaust and frame at full bump.
Tomorrow I'll get it on the alignment rack and make sure everything is good then add some gussets to the arms, triangulated braces behind the crossmember to the frame and frame side plates for the crossmember and braces.
