I don't think the off-road industry is ready for such a strong and epic setup....

X2! caster caused DW for me... I pushed it just past + side of spec. never had a problem after that.

You can, just a little more work... you can put and angle finder on top of the upper ball joint to get caster, camber isn't adjustable (unless you buy the "Adjusting ball joints", so I wouldn't even care to know it...)

You would tow it if it was street able, but not if it's not?

Haha, for you maybe! Toyo's will break any axle though, if they can get traction I do think that the D44/14b is an odd combo, D60/14B on the other hand makes sense.

And caster is adjusted with control arms ?

IDK if the older ones have the shimable lower mount or not... but in short yes, which is why adjustable control arms are ideal, as its not in the "close ball park" but its adjustable to dial it all in.

If the uppers are to short it will make the caster off right ?
