yeah my truck is having some MAJOR ackerman/caster issues (most due to adjusting wheelbase). i see the outside sidewall shoving dirt with the sidewalls when i turn.
good explanation and i'll see what i can do about adjusting.

it gets up rocks fine but it wont be winning any autocross regionals hahaha

Shouldnt that be the way it is for all informative posts? One post for all info would be ideal IMO.

The funniest part of this is when Erik necro bumped this thread and said he wasn't interested in sporty he was building a sporty.

Easy way to think about it is “ toe out in turns”. it makes the inside tire turn further in turns that’s all the kpi does . Other than that it doesn’t change any other angle in the alignment. That’s how they told us in school anyway.
Positive caster/ top king pin back makes the steering return to center easier.
