Haha, touché.

I hear ya, no big deal in my mind.

Finding the owners or someone who drove them would be helpful

I think it would be fine, the driveline has almost no angle at ride height. If I had to guess the factory u joint will handle around 20 degrees of angle. Anyone know how much the tandems move? I'd say axle droop will be the deciding factor, doubt the axle would compress enough to bind the u...

Never attacked anyone, it was a joke, won't happen again.

Is it not ok for someone to have a different opinion, experience or knowledge than you? Real classy to get personal and constantly remind us how your better than the rest. You don't know me, end of story. To the OP, shorten that truck buddy, if you need help let me know.

You said shortening a Duece is potentially life threatening, that's ridiculous. If the majority of people on this site can be trusted to drive old, out dated, extremely heavy trucks, why is modifying one for there needs any worse if it's done correctly? I just can't see how it would be less...

Short version, it's where the inner tire while turning is at more of an angle to help prevent tire scrub. If you steer most vehicles inner tire will almost always steer more.

I was also under the impression you don't always want perfect Ackermann, it can actually effect handling negatively.

I get that, just don't think it would cause extreme wear. Ackerman only comes into play when the wheels are turned. Toe and caster have a much greater effect on tire wear than Ackerman.

How is tire wear or drivability any worse than a bobbed deuce? I cut 3' off my truck, wheelbase is 130" and it drives great. I guess jeeps and early broncos are designed to kill.
