Heck with the HD front end or the Reaction arm system, I liked the dancing saloon gales.
They seem to give more action.

Does the Hubler front end offer any more caster?

Never did an alignment on the GMC. Not an expert, I've maintained and ran the machines that have done 2.2 Million alignments since 1995. So I did my own alignment when I changed to the Hubler conversion. Got 3 3/4 degrees of caster. Thats without offsets. I used Steve F. upper and lower urethane's. Hope this helps,,,PL

I have been encouraging Bill to build in the additional caster when he
welds the plate for the 4 bolt ball joint for the lower ball joints.
I have been encouraging my customers to use the offset at the rear to
gain more to have 4-5degrees.
