Installing New A-arms, Need Some Help
#1
Ok, got my new set of TimmyBoys (+2+1)in for my Raptor. They looks nice, but I have one problem. I know these arms have adjustable camber. I don't think they have adjustable caster, but I haven't looked at them that close. What should it be set at for trail riding and a little jumping? What's the best way of measuring the camber (and caster)?

There isn't any caster adjustment. As for camber it should be a little on the negative side about .5 to 1.0 degree IMO for regular riding and set the toe a little on the positive side .10" +. As for measuring the camber you can use a level or something that you know is strait and put that next to the wheel and measure off that to the edge of the wheel and set both sides the same. Later

Tonight I finally finished installing my A-arms. I used a level to set the camber. I blocked the front end up so the wheels weren't touching the ground. Then, I took a level and stood it vertical, the bottom end of the level touching the bottom outside edge of the rim, and for the top, I put a 11/16 socket between the level and the rim edge. I adjusted it until the level read plumb. I just eyeballed the level for plumb across the end of the spindle. Right now I just want to ride, so I am gonna. If I have time, I might get more into dialing it in perfectly.
