Ran into trouble tonight. Ed had been over and said I needed to shim the front axle and tip the axle forward to make sure the front driveshaft doesn't bind. Started it late tonight and put the shim in, but now the tie rid is against the top of the spring and the end won't seat. Unless I change my steering I think I'm going to have to not shim the front axle for now.

What steering setup do you have now? Also what is your caster set at? Pictures don't load at work so I can't look back and see if any are posted of the setup.

It's the RuffStuff 1 ton GM Y link steering with tie rod ends. I don't think I've taken a picture of the steering so I'll have to do that. I have home-made flat tops from the previous owner on the front D44 so it is OTK steering with a flat waggy steering arm. I had less than half an inch between top of the springs and the tie rod prior to trying to put a shim in it.
I bought the axles as a set from a guy that already had them set up for SOA so I thought the perch angles would be correct, but what I don't know is if he was running a tummy tuck or stock/sagged springs since my angles are a little off with the tummy tuck and new RE SOA springs.
