    The one thing I'm not hearing is how its driving,does it pull hard or have irregular tire wear? Look up M D Alinement ,thy have some great videos about alinement and Mike Beckett is one of the best in the industry. You can also find shops that use there simple to use Protrack alinement system.

    If those big bolts that mount the lower sway bars come loose, the axle can shift. We are talking something very serious. I had a bolt back out. I caught it backing into a dock. The front axle was flexing as I let the clutch out.

    This is on the old 8 bag air ride. It was almost 30 years ago, so I do not remember exactly how they attach.
