Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
Are you concerned with the control arm sitting on the spring "cup"? With it suspended off the ground the it will look wonky. Set it on the ground and it will move up off of the cup. If those are lowering springs they will change the caster and/or camber.

Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
no drop springs, looking forward it just looks like the drivers side is turned in way more than the other. Almost like somethings bent.

Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
As you put weight on the frame the tires won't be splayed out as much. Do you have the upper a-arm shims installed? It looks fine to me...
Personally, I'd get it good enough to drive then take it to an alignment shop. Good luck, Rg

Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
So once I get the cab and engine back on it should straighten up?

Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
It will get closer to looking right as weight is added back to the frame (engine, transmission, cab and body).

Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
Maybe you are missing a bump stop.
Mine looks the same when jacked up.

Re: Doooeeesn't quite look right
Yeah, it looks like the bump stomps might be missing, and about 3,500 lbs of truck...
