4/6 drop done. Now problem
Make this short and simple. Did a flip kit in the rear. I tried going with welding on new spring perches. Got everything done, went and bolted the bogarts on and the passenger side rear tire is sticking out farther than drivers rear. Tooks wheel off, measured BS on both to be sure there the same. I even tried swapping sides with the tires and still same problem on the passenger side sticking out. I even measured everything before I welded on the new perches.
Ended up buying some DJM axle saddles hoping that will get the rearend aligned and postiion where it needs to be. grinded off the perches I welded on weeks prior, bolted on the DJM saddles, bolted on the Bogart. Sat the truck down and still same problem with the passenger side tire. Is there something im missing? I have ran out of idea's. Any insight would help. Thanks

Had the same problem with my bros truck, he remeasured and tryed again and still the same, but his sticks out the driver side like 1/2'', now he just doesnt look at it from behind. LOL

my 00 did that with just a 4" drop in the rear. I think they're factory a little off, just like the fender height all the way around is never the same. Have someone follow you down the road, maybe it tracks like garbage from the factory?

Prob was always there, just you never noticed it sine the truck wasn't as low. I mean if all your measurements were on time, it can't be anything else. My old truck bed ws on the truck offset to one side more then the other, the new one I put on is right on time, since I lined it up..
