7...noted. And to that, how much will it change when the complete motor is set in there compared to an empty block, and empty trans case? I suspect most of the rear stuff really wont come into play (gas tank behind the rear axle, but rear suspension in front of it). i.e. mock it up at 5 degrees, and then when the complete motor is set in, it'll squash it to 7? Sounds reasonable?

Just checked out your "Cleopatra" That's snazzy! Your frame is VERY similar to what I had pictured in my pea-brain.
Oh yeah. Any particular angle from the front axle to wishbones as they head back to the frame mount? Min/Max figures? |

Like LB50 says. At ride height. The axle will swing in an arc and with air ride the it can be pressured up for any additional weight.

If you pick 4" as a ride height it wont matter what is attached to the frame. I run the hair pin angle the same as the caster.

Just to be sure you understand... you need ride height front and rear before setting caster.

Ok, it's sinking in. Like I said this is my first frame build. That's why I am calling out on more experienced wrenches.

Fish plate all your joints. Its easier to do it the first time than to go back after its bent and fix it!!
