Correct Caster for Dana 44 SAS

Ok guy's, gal's,

How many degrees of positive caster did you use when rotating the inner knuckles on your Dana 44 SAS?

This is assuming the weight of the vehicle is on the axle at the time of setting the degree's of caster.

Thanks
Don

The weight of the rig as well as set ride height front and rear since that impacts it too.

Stock on the Toyota axle is ~2 degrees:

Usually can go a little more than that with larger tires.
