I did not like the TF caster 3 degree rods (fitment, edges lessen turn radius, and heavy). On my lift, 3 degrees did not improve steering much. Went with 6 degree adrenaline 4x4 rods on a 4" lift (which did improve steering)...shipped to me in OH in a week from UK. fit perfectly. I put OEM bush in rear, poly bushes up front. plenty to read about castor correction , diff angles, and front driveshaft on this site.
RTE is taking original D2 castor arms, making a series of specific relief cuts, bending them to a predetermined position using a jig, and welding solid CNC cut 1/4” plates to both sides of each castor arm all way around the arm.
For more street driving the AD are going to be more than adequate. The RTE are going to be the heaviest option out there but having messed with a bunch of their D1 and RRC johnny jointed arms you won't be damaging them lol they are extremely beefy. Or you could always go flat out and link the front and rear and weld the brackets for the links to correct for castor and set your wheel base to wherever you want it....but that's not within a normal persons scope haha.
What is the steering issue that this fixes? I have a 3" lift and 33" tires but can't see that I have a problem that needs to be corrected - at least not in terms of driveability.
XRAD, what was it you didn’t like about the AD castor arms?
bushing fitment, edges lessen turn radius, and heavy.....
Had a pair I gave away to fosnaught auto recyclers in canton OH with my 01 disco shell...3 degree...they may still have them....for cheap....bushings already installed!

It was the TF you didn't like correct? or did I misread something and it was the adrenaline's you didn't like?

Lane wandering, twitchyness, and failure to return to center.
Ahh ok. I have a little bit of that. Definitely don’t have a “return to center” and the steering always feels like I am constantly doing slight corrections. Going on a big trip up to uwharrie NC so I guess the highway driving will be the true test as to whether I need the radius arms.
