    So I whacked a deer on the front left corner about 2 months ago, finally got the pickup back, I was crawling under it the other day to grease it, and the front lca bolt just looks like it's sitting to high, or is it just because the tabs are a little flat, and the total chaos kit just needs to be installed. Sorry for the potatoe quality pic20170106_111952.jpg

    It does look high. I could be wrong but I think it looks high because the cam is up. :notsure: Measure how long the cam sticks out from the bolt and see what that looks like from the bottom. This is a bad pic, sorry.1483739144234-875535655.jpg

    Well, compared to the passenger side it is higher, and you can see where the old cam used to ride, about a 3/16" lower than what it is now. The alignment came out alright, but it just got put back to factory specs at this point, and no crazy caster, because I gotta cut out the other side cam bolts that froze into the bushings.

    Mechanically, I think it's OK as long as it is tensioned in place by the tabs which it looks like it is.

    Alignment wise could be off. Quickest way to tell is to take it someplace. Usually places will at least check alignment for free, if they have time....
