    Still stuck in Wisconsin unfortunately.

    Completely disassembled the connectors and thoroughly cleaned them. Tail lights finally work now.

    Would have been a pretty big detour from my trip but would have done it if needed.

    My only guess as to how I didn't notice it before was the old bed being smashed and making things hard to compare, but it does appear to have a slightly bent frame.

    Rear driver's side corner seems to sit about 1" higher and the axle is shoved about 1/2-3/4" towards the driver's side.

    Rearmost spring perches look slightly twisted but the front ones look ok.





    My best thought on how to correct it, was to get a 1/2" wall DOM tube the same diameter as the bushings for the spring hanger, run it through the hanger and twist it back to position.

    Thoughts?

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    honestly a frame shop charged me 250 bucks to straighten a frame before. if you take the truck to them with the bed off the setup time is way less. i would ask around before DIY ing it.

    Bummer.


    I'd take it to a shop too. Can't hurt to see what it'll cost.

    I'll have to do this to mine too, I've overloaded it and romped on it too hard so its got the rear frame sag going on a bit.

    Thanks. I'll look around today. I might just chop them off too and weld on some beefier TG hangers

    I thought it sold with doors, fenders and bedsides at the very least.

    The chick that is selling it told me it has a Dana 90 front and 60 rear LOL. Pretty sure she has no idea what she is selling and it looks to be in Lake Elsinore CA which is tweaker central

    Everybody has big dreams and small pockets. No wonder it's still floating around. I couldn't afford to build it.
