How much negative camber do you guys on 20's get? In degrees. Im setting mine up for a 26" diameter 18" right now so I can lay on 20's later if I want.

I modded my upper arm mounts so that I only have 1.5 degrees laid out on 26" tires.

Thanks man, but what year is your truck? Im wondering about 86-93 trucks. I used 83 yota spindles with 18" RX-8 wheels. after I modified the lower and Upper control arms I tacked it all together and mocked it up. I got something like 11 degrees of negative camber laid out. Im building my own upper arms now cause the modified stocks looked like dogshit.

mine is an '81, the upper arms are the same, tho. what does it take to use the toyota spindles? yota rotors and calipers too? bj's?

Thanks. Looks like you may actually have a little more camber than I do. What type of Issues are you having with your brake/clutch master cylinder? I actually got the 83 stuff by accident. My friends dad owns a junkyard and he had an 84 that I wanted the parts off of. He got it mixed up and gave me the earlier model stuff. It actually worked out better cause the older spindle is almost Identical to the mazda as far as dimensions go. You can use the mazda lower ball joint and mazda tierod. You have to use the Yota upper balljoint though.

I have spindles off of a 92 toyota, i believe. . And I got the brake booster off of a geo metro. . And the clutch master cylinder is gonna get mounted under the dash. .

I was off just a bit on the degrees my truck gets. I actually get 7 degrees. All I have worked on is the left UCA, still need to redo everything else. Heres some pics

I can't tell you how many degrees my arms get but they tucks 20's no problem. The truck has 2&quot; drop spindles on it.
