Made some good progress this evening. The driver’s side upper and lower control arms and spindle are torqued to spec. I put the shims back in the same spot as removal, so hopefully the alignment will be close. If you look at the picture of just the LCA installed, you can see how the caster mod moves the arm forward on the frame. I only moved the arm the typical 3/4”.

Also got the rotors turned today at my local tire shop. They charge $15 per rotor for rotors off the vehicle while O’Reilly charges $30 per rotor for truck rotors, $25 per for car rotors. Always nice to get a better deal and support local businesses at the same time!


Edit to add:
A day later and the passenger side matches the driver’s side. I did coat the spindle in some fresh grease to keep it from rusting until I can get the rotors on.

I’m planning on going back to repaint the frame and such, but want to get the truck back on the road so I can figure out what all really needs to be done engine and transmission wise sooner rather than later. Easier to repaint the frame while the engine is out for a rebuild if needed.
