Im just trying to wrap my head around this front axle thing. Im gettin ready to cut the axle and narrow it, but im a little confused on somethings.
If i give the truck lots of lift while im doing this, wont the axle kind of rotate. By rotate i mean the caster angle will change? is this something i need to worry about? Or am I just overthinking a little too much?
When welding the end of the tube back on after narrowing the axle is there a chance that it wont end up square on the tube and mess everything up?
I asked on the old forum but i forget now. Which side of the axle can you take 6" off of and get a stock length shaft? I assume the passengers side, but im not 100%
