    Hey Everyone. For those of you running Ironman UCAs, what caster setting was built in? Ironmans website claims 4 degrees but the video from Tinkerers garage claims that it has 2 degrees.

    I have been chatting with Ironman and unfortunately, it is an engineering question that the marketing team cannot really answer. They are asking engineering but in the meantime I thought I would check here.

    My caster alignment is currently maxed at 2.0/2.4 and I'd like to dial it in to 3.5. If it truly is closer to 2 degrees, it is the right arm for me.

    Anyone have any real world experience that would help determine if it is 2 degrees or 4?
    Any other feedback on Ironman UCA's?

    Looks like the pinned comment on the video above is from Ironman saying it is 2 degrees of correction.

    I ran Ironman UCAs on my 2016 4R and got 3.5 degrees. I just bought another set of Ironman UCA for my 2022 4R.

    Looks like my caster on stock setup is 3.16.

    Thanks @DSRunner . I like that they have rubber bushings and easy to source parts if I ever need them.

    @Slopemaster - Is that 100% stock?

    I dont have measurements stock but with only a mild lift (1.75"F/1"R), my caster was at 1.6/1.4.
    I am currently maxed out with 2.0/2.4 caster with .1/.3 camber. I would really like to get to 3.5 caster with the same camber as I currently have.
    I think the only way to do it is to add the UCAs. The 2 degrees the Ironman UCAs add should let me dial it in perfectly

    @Crank_Mancastle. Thanks.
    I'm originally from Austin. Just moved out here about 8 years ago. Used to wheel on the service roads to the radio towers off loop 360 back in the early 90s when there was nothing else there.

    Was wondering this same thing as these look like a great aftermarket option and with my 1.75” lift I’m getting about 2.7° of caster. 2° additional seems like it would be about perfect.
