      I never said that ridetech produced perfect bumpsteer geometry, There are too many variables built into these old rides for there to be a one size fits all solution that is perfect. His chart appears to show that ridetech geometry is terrible, I simply cannot however understand how it could be worse than factory unless the measurements or setup are incorrect. I dont think your analogy really applies to my statement. I disputed that the factory geometry has better bumpsteer than the truturn kit. Your analogy would imply that without measuring the factory geometry I would not be able to notice the bumpsteer. You can detect 1st gen bump steer from the passenger seat.
      I think you missed my point
      Yes the system is very good if you take the time to modify to match your setup
      Maybe you got lucky and your set up is close to there set up when they engineered it
      Look at what I’ve come up with, moved the pick up points of inner toe rods approx 3/8 and I have **** all bump steer
      I would bet if you took your front springs out and did a true bump test, the results would be “ok” but also may shock
      I reckon the bigger issue is Bret and ridetech offer nothing unless you poke the bear.
      I get the vibe if they don’t agree they just want this story to fade away and die
      You say your happy because it’s better, but I bet you purchased there kit on there claims of “almost eliminating bumpsteer” if it doesn’t then there claims are false
      That should have poked the bear. Lol

      I challenge everyone on here to do a true bump steer test on the tru turn front ends and post results
