Solid axle question

[_Dylan_]

Center the pitman arm on the steering box, then adjust the drag link till the tires are centered.

_Dylan_ thank you again, I got a little ambitious after I corrected the steering problem and dropped the rear drive shaft. Took it for a drive in 4 wheel and the vibration was nearly gone. I'm going to fix the angle at work Tuesday and just run the blocks for a month or so until I got enough for a shackle kit.

I plan on cutting the seats off Where the springs sit on the axle, adjusting the angle of the rear axle so it aligns better with the drive shaft then welding them
Back on

_Dylan_ again I'd like to thank you... I brought stayed late at work one day and air arc'd the seats of the rear axle off it was 14 degrees out from the steady bearing, set it welded it up, Skake gone.... Went and got the tires balanced they weren't even cupped at all, this truck is rides and drives like a dream now...

Im taking it to a spring shop I think I want to lose the leafs on front, I don't do any heavy 4x4ing and am not sure about a shackle flip or just bigger springs?

I knew that driveshaft was causing the vibrations.

Shackle flip kit usually lift about 4". I'm not sure the exact lift for your truck though. Lift springs are going to ride harder. A shackle flip will get rid of those huge blocks or at least use much smaller ones. The blocks cause a lot of axle wrap if you pull loads/hard launches/off road and eventually cause the springs to bend into an S shape. They will require driveshaft angle adjustment again though. Or you could install a traction bar. Which sounds like it wouldn't be too hard for you.
