Yeah, I think Twotrucks is correct-they are backwards. At least according to the way mine had been when I got it and I am pretty sure the guy before me really knew what he was doing. The frame shop that aligned my truck never corrected me either, so I figure this picture illustrates how it should look. Notice the front is longer than the back "leg". That is how the new TCI control arm on my kit are also. It has to do with the caster effect I believe.
Note: I am NOT trying to be critical with this post. I just think that your ride and wheels might suffer if this is not corrected. So, hopefully this and Twotrucks comment will make it a better ride for you!
