    Here's a question. My passenger side shackle is kicked outboard and I can't seem to get it to relax back to vertical. Any thoughts?

    I tried swapping the leafs, and while doing so made sure everything was lining up. I attached the leafs to the front hanger, then dropped the centering pins into the axle and then hooked up the rear shackle. At that point the shackles hung completely vertical and everything lined up. The problem comes up when I torque the ubolts. The passenger leaf seems like it's twisting on me and kicking the shackle outboard.

    I might try turning the 4th leaf around to see if that helps. Kinda at a loss. Everything should line up.

    It's worse in person.

    Looks fine to me, mine do the same thing. I had to use washers to space it out so it was straighter. I have photos somewhere I gotta find. NwiTACO had to do the same thing on his chevies.

    I'm going to put it on the alignment rack today and make sure the back axle is lined up properly. If it's not I'll try and figure something out.

    Actually have same thing on pass side, kicked out just a hair maybe evenless then urs

    I think it's totally fine

    I will probably add a trac bar I'm getting a little axle wrap just cause the axle is so heavy.


    Are you running 4 k15 leafs now

    I'm running the skyjacker 5" lift springs. They came with four leafs and an overload. I am not running the overload though.

    I'm running the c15 2wd springs 3+ overload and it sits super high, u must be really heavy with that flat deck or have a huge rake.

    A bit of both. The bed and toolbox are heavy and I have a bit more rake than I'd like. Still figuring things out.

    :woot: the axle is straight! Might pull the shim to bring the rear down a touch. Can't get enough caster due to the ass end being too high.
