66 bronco

[brendon]

i've measured every angle on my bronco trying to figure out what makes my bronco lean. i've installed a new 2.5" ultimate suspension. every thing on this chassis is new. the tub is not installed yet. it is just a brand new rolling chassis sitting there beautifully restored lopsided. will somebody please give me the reason other than "its just the nature of the beast". there has to be a technical explanation. thanks

are your leaf springs on correct? I know that sounds stupid, but they will fit on there w/one right & one wrong...I found that out 10-15 years ago when I put my first lift on /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The radius arms "need" to be parallel AFTER the "C" bushing caps are torqued down.

If not, one front corner can be forced up causing a lean.

did put both rears on backwards according to the diagrams from jbg at first but corrected that. as for radius arms, used correct degree bushings torqued cap bolts(they pulled all the way closed) and snugged the radius arm bushing equally. i figure when its time to go to alignment, the final adjustments will be made. the bronco is leaning to one side all the way down the length of the frame equally.

"used correct degree bushings torqued cap bolts(they pulled all the way closed) and snugged the radius arm bushing equally"

This usually won't cut it... the best way is with both tips (rad. arms) touching the floor (threaded end) If one is high, then time to re-set...

Just to be sure it's not a weak leaf spring...you can swap left/right to see if there's any change. then you know it's (problem) in the front.

Just some thoughts,
