CPP/ Classic Ind / or any of the usual suspects carry the adjustable bars. I would jack up the rear under the trailing arms so as to keep the rear suspension loaded and then break out the tape measure.

.....or jack up the frame and watch how much the rear moves side to side as you pass every 1/2'' or so. Would require 2 jacks.

Re: i need help

You can run a string down the frame to common points on each side, from front to rear. A one inch bend should be easy to spot, as I think the frames are the same width from front to back. Meaure from the inner wheel or tire to the frame in the rear. Do this on both sides. If the rear end is out and the frame is not bent, then the rear end needs to go over to one side to be re-centered. This is real common on lowered trucks. At stock height, the track bar is on an angle, when you lower it, the bar gets more parallel to the ground. This pushes the rear end over some. I bought mine from Early Classic. There are several companies that make them, I believe. I hope this helps, Jeff.

Re: i need help

I'm with everyone else, Track bar. whenever you lower it with factory pan-hard it will push to one side.
