I just built 3" longer front arms and added R&P to my buggy. I took it out today and the difference in ride is amazing. My question is, how should I set up my alignment? Right now, the tires measure the same on the front and rear of the tire. It does seam to wander a little. Should they point in a little in the front? What do you guys recommend? Thanks!

Lookin good. I like the adjustable beam.Is it wider? I would recomend leaning the rack topp towards the frontof car. Thats how I mounted mine then I leaned back to line up withtie rods and it handled alot better.

I have noticed in slick mud if you toe them out about 1/8" it will turn like a go cart and seems to come out of ruts better but feels strange on pavement.

Oops I just noticed you are in Cali. sand not mud sorry.
