Re: A couple of suspension questions

See how the idler arm end of your center link turns to the rear?



It should turn to the front. As you can tell by the paint differences, I took the entire crossmember suspension and all out of the truck as-is and rolled it under the new frame. I never pulled it apart, so that was the way it was the last time I drove it. You can see that inner tie rod is behind the link too.
