D 60 Caster and Camber specs

[K5MONSTERCHEV]

Ok guys I need some specs.

First of all, whats the Caster and Camber specs for a Dana 60?

Second, I know I should add Caster soooo, what would you guys reccomed to set it to? And what would you reccomed the Camber?

Before you start telling me how I cant adjust it, Im getting knuckles pressed on an axle, so i can set it to whatever i want.

Thanks in advance!! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

You can't adjust caster. 3-5 degrees of camber.

You can adjust caster with the length of your shackles or with shims.

or by cutting the knuckles and turning them, which is exactly what he stated he is doing

I think you got the terms mixed up, switch them around and youre partially correct. You can adjust camber with shims that go behind the spindle. I dont know what the camber spec is but I would assume 0.

I am not sure on camber specs but for caster 8-9* is what is called for on a 1 ton with a D60. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Wouldnt i want to add caster, since im all lifted running big tires?

fill in your theory on that topic
I have seen someone theorize that larger tires are like more caster
the contact patch distance from the X (lost the wording mid thought) is greater the larger the tire

Im not 100% sure, thats why I asked. I had heard that, and the place putting my knuckles on asked me about it.

I would aim for 8*
I think that is where mine landed
