Re: Frame issue? If this is the wrong place sorry

Allright I needed to add to this thread so I just changed the title.

So everyone has been helping me try to figure out what was up with this dumb blazer but I had a thought. The rear axles spring perches are crooked, one is turned down. Of course I'm not sure which one is correct, but when hooked to springs the right rear perch is tilted forward (making it hard to hook up. This I think would make the shackle tilt forward more. Which Could be the reason the blazer is sitting down in the right rear. Which is confirmed because when I have my K5 on the jackstands at the rear frame horns. the Axle pulls up on that side.

So with that said could the tube really be twisted in one of these old rigs I don't think it had enough horse power to twist. If not how easy is it to get a welder to remount the perch in the correct spot. Last would this be cheaper than getting a new rear axle since I wouldn't have to change anything. Thanks -Jason
