I finally got the king pins reamed by a pro shop and they did a fantastic job.

I have a question about reassembly though, I’m wondering if the previous owner had messed with the axles and flipped them.

This is how they were mounted before I removed them:



yet when I look online for photos of the I beams, I get conflicted info about the “drop” in the ibeam. Did the previous owner have it backwards?
this is what I’ve been seeing online:

 

..i agree, that looks like someone did an axle flip to drop the truck 4 inches or so.

 

wouldn’t the flip that the previous owner did actually lift the truck? It definitely wasn’t low when I had it set up before the king pin work

 

correct you are!!!
my mind was out for a little walk when i typed that!
