Thread: 30-06ai 60 series custom landcruiser build

Cert progress inspection went really well, they were happy my body chop was really solid, body lift blocks were compliant, custom seat rails way stronger than required. We discussed the chassis chop I want to do at the rear to improve departure angle and that seems like it's going to be very straightforward as well.
I have been given the all clear to paint and get stuck into reassembly. Quite a relief really.
1 issue that has cropped up is that with the extended shackles I'm running I will need to correct my castor as with the amount of lift I have it rotates the diff housings which can cause unwanted traits like death wobbles, skittish steering, driveline vibrations and generally poor handling under braking etc.
So there appears to be 2 options to correct the castor.

1: cut the leaf mounts off the diff housing and rotate the diff then re weld leaf mounts back on.

2: run castor correction wedges

Both methods require getting a wheel alignment first to see how far out my castor is so I can correct it back to factory tolerance. I'm waiting to hear if castor wedges are appropriate and legal for my application as this will also likely dictate which method I use.
Anyone done this ?
I won't be attacking this till the truck is painted and running, as it's a pain in the arse pushing it around and loading/unloading it on the transport trailer with no propulsion

Looking forward to painting it and then getting stuck into final assembly
