I think we have been through this several times. There are a few things we are arguing about that are separate issues. One of the most important things that affects on center handling is the toe change curve. IIRC the 1 Ton system has a pretty good curve untill the ride height gets high and at that point the curve goes way beyond acceptable limits. If you keep the ride height low enough you won't have a problem with the 1T design. As far as torque steer, that is affected by effective spindle length and nothing else. I try not to throw my background around but sometimes I can't help it. I spent most of my career designing front suspensions and am totally taken aback when back yard mechanics become experts. You need computer simulations to get this right--toe change, roll steer,anti lift, anti dive, torque steer. and so on--all at the same time.
