x2^^^^ Especially when you warn your friends like "hey thats not gonna work" or "you really need to do it like this" and they dont listen to you. Thats when you just let them do it their way and learn for themselves

Cory, I gotta question.

Is your pinion on your 44 angled up pretty high? Because with my arms at the angle they will need to be, it makes the pinion seem like it's at like a 45 degree angle. Was yours like this?

Yeah, it was fubar'd for a long time. That new set of radius arm bushings i just put in have 4.5 degree of caster built into them to bring the pinion angle back down. You will need a set of radius arm bushings that adjust the caster..

There are 2 degree, 4 degree, and 7 degree.
