I'm about ready to order a one ton conversion from Manny on January 2nd. In this last week I've had several people raise the geometry issue caused by the difference in knuckle height and possibly some other aspects. Getting the control arms that far out of parallel does seem concerning. I have not read all of the chatter on torque steer so maybe there are some facts in that thread?

What I need, please, are some facts from an engineer that can explain to me if this is truly an issue that cannot be compensated for safely (and how) and whether or not it will set off a chain reaction of other issues that need to be dealt with.

Thank you in advance.
