I don’t know how I still remember these things but I do.... So to clarify for anyone doing the same thing, you can re-weld the spring perch that is on the axle but you will be left with machining or adding shims to the one that’s on the diff. What I did was order 12 deg steel weld on shims and have them permanently welded on the springs perches (both left and right). PLEASE remember to not shortcut this and place chepo aluminum shims as they can slide out and cause you to lose your front end. I then mounted the axle, ground out the knuckle welds and used a really big hammer with a bit of heat to turn the knuckles back 12 deg. A few passes with a good welder and I was all set. The axle, Josh jump in here, has over 100k miles on it without a problem. Hope that helps out........................Now what to build next?
