Drop boxes or caster bushes

[@GUte]

"Effectively they are designed to achieve that flat radius arm from the factory mount by increasing the drop of the front half of the arm."

MR, they will still retain the same geometry as factory arms with correction bushes regardless of how you design the arm. You have to drop the rear. The main benefit of those arms is that you retain the OEM bush.

These arms that use the drop box help keep the line to factory depending on lift.

These would be the go getting rid of the stock chassis bushes for a more suited less restrictive bush but alot more coin if your on a budget

Do you need to worry about this if all you want is a 2" lift?

Yeah they are the go.

Occasionally some vehicles don't need caster correction. If you need correction, your best going the drop box route.

So someone (can't remember who) mentioned earlier in this thread that there was some question on the "legality" of drop boxes.
Thoughts, comments from those qualified?

Illegal unless engineered.. It's a chassis and suspension mod outside of the legal acceptable changes made by law..

But there sorta like light bars. People take the risk as its not a huge thing to change back..

No not necessary

No not necessary

I disagree, our Mav simply had to have correction.
Steering in the wet was totally dangerous without correction.
Oversteer was very evident even in the dry.

Every vehicle is different, get an alignment report printout and check off angles against std settings.
and remedy to suit. m2cw

I have a question on this too...

I am about to throw some 2" springs and shocks in mine.

Should I go and get a check of the current castor angle so they can compare them after the lift?

Can I expect the local Bob Jane to know the factory specs for a GU or are they somewhere in the bible here?
