Front suspension Handling Mods...?

[mscles]

I have an 84 that I'm in need of some advice for.

I have read the entire "make it Handle" thread and already searched....

I have CPP upper and lower arms. 2" drop modular spindles and 1" drop coil springs
front tires will be 275/40R20's on 9.5" wide rims

I'm looking to help center the front wheel slightly and get to the magic 7deg caster angle. It will be a static drop daily driver so good performance but plenty of suspension movement and clearance needed.

I would buy a dropmember if they made one for coil springs....but since they don't...

Should I:

A. Cut the frame to raise the crossmember up 1"


B. Pancake the crossmember 1"

C. Move the lower control arms forward 1"

D. switch to rack and pinion (I already have all new pieces for the current style and I don't want to change the box placement but am willing to change things to reduce bump steer)

E. some combo of the above.


I have read that the 73-87 trucks have more caster built in (5 deg) but have found multiple contradictions

I haven't found any good threads detailing the newer body style crossmembers for performance

Please help
