Seems like a marketing ploy or something, "4 inches of lift while retaining factory ride" etc blah blah
Teraflex provides REAL castor measurements, taking into account drivability and the assumption you are going to put on a new drive shaft. Why would they tell you to put 7 on, their number is a starting point, just like the control arm length recommendations. Most people are NOT running 7 degrees of castor, if so, I would love to see the printout, not a picture of their angle finder. If you know your ass from your elbow when installing this lift, it will ride like factory, and in some cases better. Too many people dont torque their bolts right, shoot for illogical levels of castor, and do other dumb things to make their rigs drive like shit. I dont understand the marketing ploy statment.
