How do you measure front toe?

Buy expensive set up gauges specifically for off road car, eyeball it and not worry, two paint stir sticks against the front wheels?

Any suggestions?

Park the nose of your car against a wall and use the camber gauge to measure the toe by placing the gauge on the wall instead of the ground. Turn the car on so the wheels stay in the same place while you measure.

This is how I do it after I get my camber where I want it and toe links are to spec.

Find a flat backboard spot to work off of. A work bench, a wall anything.
-Get your ride height gauge set to where the car will be set and lock it in.
-Adjust your camber gauge to the angle you want your toe.
-Turn the car on and line up the front tires so that both fronts are touching the backboard at the same time.
-Put the ride height gauge under the front and push the car down with 1 hand till it touches the gauge.
-with the other hand, put the camber gauge up against the backboard and slide it over till you touch the tire/rim.
-adjust the links till you have the toe you're looking for.

Droop is adjusted by adjusting the shock shaft length. This is accomplished by either unscrewing or screwing the shock eyelet at the bottom of the shock making the shaft effectively longer or shorter. You can remove droop by installing spacers under the piston inside of the shock. You can also change shock shaft length by changing between long, medium or short shock eyelets. To increase droop you have to make the shock shaft effectively longer. To decrease droop you have effectively make the shaft length shorter. Some 4wd vehicles have droop screws that allow you to easily change droop settings by adjusting the droop screw. Look into your manual for this adjustment that is found mostly on 1/8th scale vehicles. You change the spring cups at the bottom of the shock to be able to attain the desired ride height you are looking to achieve for a given shock shaft length. It does not affect droop to change out spring cups.

Can you explain what you meant by the spring cups for ride height. I realize the collars can be adjusted but you also mentioned the spring cups. I saw some different sizes and didn't understand how they worked.
On another topic... I also saw someone mention swapping the Stock rear hub for one that has the ballstud screwed into the top. I'm new to associated but I haven't seen a hub like that. Anyone have a Part no. For that style hub?

The different shock cups are there to better achieve proper ride height on various surfaces. They are not a tuning tool. As for the hubs, currently Schelle is the only company that offers a hub for the B6 that alloes you to take advantage of the vertical height adjustment of the stock hubs.

Black: B6 Aluminum Rear Hubs, Black

Blue: B6 Aluminum Rear Hubs, Blue

You can get the Schelle machined pistons as well. They are available in numerous sizes.

Make sure your ball diff isn't too loose or too tight.
A loose diff is a sign that you melted your diff gear.
I don't know what a tight diff would do but I wouldn't try that either, that's how you wear the crap outa your diff plates.
I check mine often I don't want it too loose or too tight in the middle.
