Haha, sounds like my place but Im living in a semi-hick town. Everyone's related to a rancher or grower around here. My neighborhood is full of working people (including cops), families and everything in between. No one else has looked twice except to say "Wow, Nice truck". Cop across the street hasnt said anything. Cop next door hasent said anything. Sheriff around the corner is working on his Jeep in the driveway. New neighbor across the street loves my work. Next door neighbor asked me to fix her car.

My truck was like this for 5 minutes and when we put it on the trailer it didnt make a sound. I couldnt have done it faster nor quite'er with a hoist. That neighbor was out taking pictures of me. I think I waved in one of them

You ever find out why the rear end was shifted over?

Not entirely. The top leaf of the passenger side looks a little twisted but that could be due to whatever the other problem is. I still need to take the weight off of everything and loosen it all. Then Ill check on whats up and if the frame is straight. Should be done in a couple days.

Damn, that guy wants $350 for a dented up cab and bed.

jrock · « **Reply #728 on:** Jul 13, 2012, 12:39:09 PM »

So I measured the frame and it's 1/4" out of square. I'm not sure it was perfect to begin with buuuuuuuut I've got a come-along on it trying to straighten it out a tad. Once I get it where I like, I will leave it for 24 hours and hopefully it holds

nisota · « **Reply #729 on:** Jul 13, 2012, 10:31:45 PM »

I hope so too

superyota · « **Reply #730 on:** Jul 14, 2012, 09:51:52 AM »

1/4 inch is nothing! It's not even going to be noticeable. Your good to go.

jrock · « **Reply #731 on:** Jul 14, 2012, 10:30:53 AM »

Good to know, Good to go. I should be cutting off the shock hoops and sliders this afternoon and may start cleaning up the fame.

What do you all think? The top lead is pretty bent and it shifting my axle over. I'm thinking of having a local spring shop re arch and straighten the top leafs.

John Doe · « **Reply #733 on:** Jul 16, 2012, 05:52:57 PM »

That is pretty twisted $:-\$ . Would a shop be able to straighten it out?

If your shackle is still straight, wouldn't it sit straight regardless if the spring being tweaked a bit? Throw a rachet strap on it and yank it back til it bends back

jrock · « **Reply #738 on:** Jul 17, 2012, 07:44:55 PM »

Shackles aren't straight.

Good seeIng you this weekend buddy. It was a good trip. Got your note on my tow rig this morning when we got out. Thanks!

jrock · « **Reply #748 on:** Jul 23, 2012, 09:12:15 AM »

Thanks SolidAxle

It was good seeing you SuperYota.

And for Rubicon: Good trip. One guy broke both front main leafs, another broke off a control arm mount, another broke off a front shackle mount. Blown relay on a fan for a 5.3 Vortec in a CJ. I wish I had had my truck though. Would have made a show out of it
