How did you end up setting your front axle caster without the t-case installed? I remember debating that for a week or two.
the cross member bolts right in to the stock location on the frame. that "great India" part...is the stock ford truck mount for a 205. as for the caster on the front, im only running 3.5" lift...so i can run the axle at stock caster. thats what i set it up to and cage recommends about 5degrees-that way it should track,drive,and steer good on road. now that the tcase is in , i set the rear angle...just have to burn it in.
i need a cv yoke that fits the output shaft of the 205. the shaft from the big bronco...would fit perfect if i had a yoke for a cv. i will have to get a front shaft tho
