Car Enthusiast Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 88 2wd If I throw a set of coil springs that will drop it about 4", from in my brain it shouldn't effect the front except for pushing the tires forward correct? Since it doesn't have to worry about pinions angles you wouldn't have to adjust for that? I might throw some adjustable short arms to keep the tires in the center of the wheel well for looks and to help it from rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 it'll affect it somewhat, but might still be within specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSch88L Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 In theory, extreme lowering of the MJ's suspension (4-linked straight axle) could affect the same parameters; incorrect caster (which is also your pinion angle on a 4x4), the axle could get off-centered du to the track bar now being the incorrect length and wheels might get off center in the fenders. The stock suspension gets the arms pretty much parallel, but either lifting or lowering would pull the axle back, although I don't know if the control arm brackets will let you go low enough to get into those troubles.

Car Enthusiast Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 I am going to lower it and then see how far off the castor is and see where the wheels end up in the wheel well. I am mostly worried the castor will be off. Lowering it should give me a little bit more castor, which wouldn't be terrible I think What is the stock castor angle? 7.5°?
