So what was the final fix? Moving the axle forward? Get adjustable spring perches?

I'm getting ready to install RK upper adjustable CA's....trying to help the pinion angle.
I have RK 3.5" springs already installed, RK rear Trackbar, RK LCA's...don't want to run into any problems.

Thanks, Dave

Depends which LCAs you have. Flex or the extended wheelbase version? It was my error in setting up my Flex Version as Extended wheelbase lengths. That coupled with not moving my sway bar back was the majority of my issues. For the bowing springs, it appears that perches will definitely be needed if you push your axle a full inch back.

Thanks Rick...I have the LCA's (not extended) made to work with the stock uppers, but now I've installed the 3 1/2 RK springs so I've bought adjustable uppers and I'm gonna see what I have to do to make them work with the lowers I have. I understand I might need to shorten them a little. I just don't want to buy new LCA's as mine have only been on for a few months. I was worried about what would happen once the axle rotates to fix the pinion angle. Sounds like adjustable perches will be the next purchase. And I'll move my sway bar back (that's the easy part).

Thanks again, have fun tomorrow at Mabell
