of incline the chassis is sitting on

but see how much higher off the ground the rear of the frame is vs. the front

that is the diff. cuz of the 3 in. plus higher 6x6 frame behind the cab as compared to the civy frame behind the cab

i get confused but i think this may have given your front axle less positive caster than it already has---probably not by much tho and you seem to like the way it handles so far, some folks like to shim the front axle to give it more positive caster for the stock civy so it handles more better

what i like about it is the frame is higher off the ground in the rear so when you put a good load on it it will come to level or maybe still a tad higher than level
