Cut the original spring perch welds on the diff housing. Set your pinion angle, and re weld.

Really kind of surprising at how easily the steel moves. Also found none of our bottle jacks liked to work laying on their side horizontally need to be vertical, must be a gravity thing.

So put a laser down both rails and found both rails hook to the left by around a 1” or so each. Hoped to straighten it ourselves and we have been partially successful these last few days. Got the twist out of the left rail (cross member fits now), also got a little movement on the left front horn back to the right. Not much luck with the right rail and not enough on the left is how it sits now.
