I commend the person who took the time and effort to produce the drawing:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204172125838153&set=o.183025891821956&type=3&theater
It illustrates the improvement in brakes.

But sometimes drawings are not to scale.
The drawing shows the control arms angled downward.
In reality the bottom control arm is closer to level at normal ride height.
And the upper control arm is not parallel to the lower control arm with the one ton modification.

I don't believe that there is a 5 degree angle difference between stock and one ton.
From what I've observed it's more like one ton steering axis = 12.5 degrees
and the stock is 12 degrees (with camber set to zero).

Regards
