Alright, well a while back I put in add-a-leaves which raised the front end but now instead of the tops of the tires in they are out. My buddy gave me These which are for a diesel w/ a Dana 50. I was just wondering if anyone else has used these longer brackets in conjunction with add-a-leaves and if it made the tires half way straight and aligned...thanks.
Those are drop brackets for the pivot points of the I beams. Yes, they are designed to help alignment. However it is had to say if it is enough or to much drop for your truck. Usually the springs and brackets are bought to work with each other.

It sounds like you need to take your truck to an alignment shop and have them take care of it. I am willing to bet that you will need 2 $50.00 shims to take care of the problem. One for each wheel. That is the curse of the Dana 50, whenever it needs to be be fixed it is at least $100.00.

if you put the add-a-leaf in the to compensate for saggy springs i would do as was said before. Take it to an alignment shop and have them install the correct shims. You probably just need a different degree installed to bring you back straight. For me is was $38 bucks installed for two and now im perfect...knock on wood [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
The Ford F-Series front tires sat a little out at the top when they were new. How much are they out? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]
I have the same problem, I just had new stock front springs installed and I asked the spring shop to arc them an extra inch, the end result was the top of the tires were out.
I had it alligned and they put in the largest shims which corrected it a lot but they are still not standing straight. The way they explained it to me was that I got a lift without the lift kit and that I would have to get those brackets to straighten it out and they would probably have to allign again.
good luck, let me know the final result.

Go to my albums.
Yeah, I will have to get it in on the rack again. Last time I did was a while back, it was at Shwab and they said that it was to bowed out to do anything with and I had to wait till it sagged out a little more, it seems you just cant get ahead w/ this damn front end...
Yep... time for a D60! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
My tires get cupped really bad if I don't keep them rotated.
I've got a D60 coming... probably sometime after the 1st of the year.
I can hardly wait to get rid of the TTB.

Well it could be, but the shocks only have about 25,000 miles on them and it is only happening on one side.
The way that the TTB pivots just tends to wear to inside and outside edges IMO.
Besides, it is a good excuse for the better half... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
