Fact or crap?!?!?

Post by GT-Racer »

My truck has been in pieces for so long that I cant verify this. Actually I first heard it here after my truck was disassembled.

Is it fact or crap that the front wheels are not centered in the wheels wells of our trucks and that moving them one inch forward cures this?

I've heard this as well from many different sources that I trust, but haven't actually got out the tape measure to check for myself.

This is something to do when sub-framing a truck with a different front suspension, not something you can do to a stock I-beam suspension.
