All this talk of replacing the front end and aligning for maximum caster has me thinking about ride height. I really like the look of my coach when the belt line looks level, however this would have the back end too high up.
With increased caster is there any reason not to run the coach where it is prettiest?
I seem to remember that the ride height changes the weight on each axle, and with our minimal amount of caster raising the back end just contributes to wander. A stouter front end and increased caster should mean that we can give the coach a butt lift.
