Castor correction

I am going to change my front 10 spline axle to a 24 spline.

I have 3 inch lift and currently have the the narrow cranked radius arms.

New front axle has slight pitting on swivels, my question is….. if I bought castor corrected swivels, would that solve me needed cranked radius arms?

Thanks

I would keep the axle stock and play with the radius arms instead:

- If ever in future you move the axle to another vehicle you might get very confused
- Modified radius arms are easier (cheaper) to get than modified swivels?
- The U-joint alignment should be easier to manage when diff and transfer case are in the same correct plane

3" lift is quite a lot. I would not think that would be a very good drive on the road, but to each their own. What are you trying to achieve?[/list]
