Doooeeesn't quite look right

So i'm doing a frame off and was looking at the front end, and something looks a little off, but i'm not sure what to replace. Help me out here guys.

Are you concerned with the control arm sitting on the spring "cup"? With it suspended off the ground the it will look wonky. Set it on the ground and it will move up off of the cup. If those are lowering springs they will change the caster and/or camber.

no drop springs, looking forward it just looks like the drivers side is turned in way more than the other. Almost like somethings bent.

As you put weight on the frame the tires won't be splayed out as much. Do you have the upper a-arm shims installed? It looks fine to me...

Personally, I'd get it good enough to drive then take it to an alignment shop.

Good luck, Rg

So once I get the cab and engine back on it should straighten up?

It will get closer to looking right as weight is added back to the frame (engine, transmission, cab and body).

Maybe you are missing a bump stop.


Mine looks the same when jacked up.

Yeah, it looks like the bump stomps might be missing, and about 3,500 lbs of truck...
