    Edit: Installed 2019 leaf springs. since left spring shackle and frame mount shackle was very bent, made the job much more labor intensive than it should have been. right side was cake. 3 hrs labor to bang it back in place. No way i would of been able to do it with my tools at home. Got er' done. My steering wheel is straight now, and im assuming my crab walk is fixed aswell. Yet to get it aligned though.

    I pretty much figured there was some frame damage of some kind. Like I mentioned, 4 fat chicks in a Kia Soul smashed into the wheel. That's definitely not, "OOPS, I backed the wheel into a log".

    Im just glad the leaf spring and shackle took the brunt of the force. No other frame damage other than that.
