Kingpin inclination has NOT changed. Wheel offset has.

Looks like Big Scott lost his meds...take a deep breath...step away from the keyboard. You look like a tool right now.
I'm sure I could recite those words you have heard from your reliable source about RPG products. I've heard the same story...many times. Pobably from the same source. Funny you won't put him on blast on the internet.
Right now? That would be implying that at some point he doesn't seem like a tool. It's cool that he is obsessed with Outlaw but there are other companies.
...I can't believe I read the whole thing.
Scott, you and I have met and spent some time. We've rubbed shoulders under a few trucks, we've turned a few wrenches together, lent a hand here or there, learned together and from one another. It wasn't much time, but it was enough for me to look you in the eye, to come to know that you are a very smart man, and to realize that you have a wealth of experience and knowledge.
When you say...
...I believe you completely. You said as much at the TRR when we met. Many times. You made it very clear how careful you'd been, you pointed out differences between the options, strengths and weaknesses of all, gave examples of other vehicles you'd built or helped build in the past that utiziled similar techniques... I have no doubt you approached this with an attention to detail few of us ever have. And in the end, the result of your research was to buy from RPG.
I was with you, standing right next to you in fact, when Corey explained, in detail, to a customer all about the crumple zone idea/concern/approach/handling at the TRR. At the time, the answers made sense to you, and in fact I got the impression the whole idea wasn't news to you in the first place.
But to be clear: there was no "guy" who "pointed out" any "valid fact". There was a discussion about this very thing, before you bought. A lengthy one actually, during which you came to know *exactly* where RPG stands on this issue. At the time you couldn't have been more supportive and in agreement on their approach. And, again, you became an RPG customer as a result.
So. You spent a year researching first. You spent 2 full days with and welcomed by RPG, helping them turn wrenches, learning from them, listening to them, sharing stories suggestions and techniques, and eventually buying from them. You knew *exactly* what you were getting maybe better than anyone else who bought from them that weekend.
Scott... please, don't insult your own intelligence and experience by claiming otherwise now.
Maybe you had a falling out with RPG after. Maybe a personality conflict. Maybe they took your money and ran...(I have no knowledge of any of that; just throwing out guesses) But what they absolutely did not do, was sell you something you didn't understand completely, first. And that includes the crumple zone "issue" you're raising now, as if it was news. Its neither news or an issue, and you and I both know that.
Bottom line? Tell us all about the customer support horrors you think you've had with RPG, if you must, and let us decide how to interpret them. But please don't tell us how you bought an inferior or unsafe product. You didn't. And even if you did, we'd have to believe you're pretty dumb to have bought in the first place, and that's something we both know you're not.
Hey Hockster,
Jarrett just showed me how to log in under RPG.
I assumed you know
1. Tire size has increased to 39"
2. Cmkausch = Corey from RPG.
I could make the cals but it is much easier to open the CAD files and let you know tomorrow.
Please note that we are going to go into details of the kit ASAP. We still need to get into the dirt. I don't want to specify 7 degrees of caster at ride height then get it in the dirt to find a happy medium of 9. With ride height decreased by 1".
Take care,
Corey @ RPG.
