So I installed my RK adjustable LCA'S and the next day my front driveshaft started rattling, took it to the shop and they said its fairly common and I should look into getting a HD front driveshaft. Can anyone chime in some input and opinions?

Yeah that's what I thought but the shop checked and said the caster was good, from my opinion and I don't know much but I think when I put on the LCA'S it was just the icing on the cake for the front driveshaft to fail.

How much lift did the coils give you ? Stock shaft shouldn't fail unless the pinion and was sever enough (high caster)

It was TF 2.5 in, it looked off but the shop said it was good, I don't know if I got swindled or what but, now I'm just ready to get a new one and have the shop install so if the caster is off and this messes up its on them to fix it

Ok I can fix that, but that was the confusing part cause I read nowhere on how much they should be adjusted. Can anyone tell me how much they adjusted theirs?

^ even better the front on each side of the differential. There's 2 flat machined spots.
This will give you the pinion angle. Knowing there's 6 degrees separation, you will know your caster.
Ex: stock is 2 degrees positive. Caster at this is 4 degrees.
