So I am familiar with some of the older products on the market for caster correction on lifted vehicles. I worked with a few of them years ago when they were relatively new. I saw where OME had some offset "shims" for Jeep JK's that allowed for a 1/2" of movement for the lower link arms to allow for caster correction. I understand the theory and can fab my own using 3/16 stock. I know that increased caster equates to better handling and want to get as much back as I can without the added expense of lower arms.
My questions are:
Has anyone used these or something similar?
For those that have used something like this have you noticed an improvement in handling or road feel?
Does anyone know of any downsides to these in an off-road application?
