I'm not sure if I should be editing posts since I was the last poster, or if since it's new info, just post again. I'm not familiar with bulletin board etiquette as it pertains to this sort of thing.
Anyhow, Ive measured the ride height and the toe. From the front leaf spring eye bushing, at...
Alright, there is a little bit of news to go around. I got my bearings and seals replaced and let it back on the tires again. I measured ride height at the bottom of the frame near a body mount, and got 1/8 inch higher on the passenger side. It drives the same, no pull or anything, just...
I haven't put the tires back on yet to measure ride height or anything. Once I get my bearings replaced I'm going to reinstall my tires and set it back down to see how it sits.
It's sitting on jack stands in the driveway currently with the left side hub apart. With the weight on the jack...
I installed the Off Road design steering brace on my steering box when I did my front end repairs. Everything is tight, I see no problem there.

I haven't driven it since I got it home and I don't remember if it dog tracked or not on the way back. I did measure the distance from the rear spring eye to the u bolt mount on the rear axle and each side was within an eighth inch of each other.
I'm going to remove the steering intermediate...
Its not lifted and is only wheeled on relatively easy trails, no hard rock crawling or mudding if I can help it. I go offroad maybe once a couple months or so depending on the groups schedule. That is what has me puzzled because everything Ive looked at seems perfectly fine.
Edit: It does have...
So after a trip to Hawk Pride in NW Alabama, my steering wheel is around sixty degrees offset to the right.

My main tie rod looks straight, my tie rods from the steering box to the knuckle seem straight.
