If I remember right, I cut a 1/2" off each side of the tie rod, So I could adjust it in a bit more   Simply fix....

Navi is right, you need to take off about a 1/2" so you have more adjustment I thought I added that with my tips but guess I missed that. My gas tanks is raised up as far as it could go and we also sectioned it and rebuilt the braces that hold up the tank. Get some pics up wanna check out how your truck is comin along.

I think i'm in the same boat, I went with Stock lowers with a flipped balljoint, DJM Uppers and the extensive uca brackets. if i remember right the driver side it pretty good when aired out, but the passenger side has a little more camber, not alot, but def. noticeable. I havent had it aligned yet, would a alignment fix it or is 1/2" of the tie rod need to be taken out? And my tank is pretty much on the ground too. How much would i expect to pay to section the tank a bit, if i can find a guy willing to weld it.   lastly is a new tranny crossmember necessary to completely lay out in the front. if i have about 20psi in the rear and slam the front, its lays hard, but when i slam the rear the front raises up slightly making the rear lower. again, not alot but def. noticeable. Is the xmember keeping it from laying out?
