Both sides of my frame are twisted....note the washer/spacers on the drivers side body mount. A normal 2wd frame is out side to outside 34 1/2 inches. This one is around 37 inches. The reason this matters is because this is where I need to mount my front spring hangers. I want my truck to track straight.
Any ideas? Anyone?

I bought this raised arm to help clear the springs and help the drag link angle. That was Todd's idea.

didn't even know you had a post, build a badass crossmember for the front. Piece of cake + you can build it to give you a better approach angle which you need on a chebby.

Having once started a SAS looking back it aint like building a completly new frame would be that big of a PITA, specially on a truck were the back you could flatbed. just body mounts would be a pain but worst comes to worst you know the toastmaster.....

I've already made frame portions...my jeep has a custom frame. It supports the body really good. Holds the gas tank, will be tied to the roll cage soon. Frames are easy to make. What Toaster won't say is that when he can't get a metal fab job done he comes to me to get it taken care of!

And I have decided to straighten up the frame on my own. Im going to get it close to straight and then build mounts that will come out level and then I will attach my axle to the mounts......and so on. Let me get more done and I will maybe get pics if it looks okay.....
