frame damage?

[rezsst]

got in a wreck and now after taking dimensions the right front corner is 3/8 back axle as well. not sure if it matters much butt nothing i can do other than wrapping a chain around a tree. think i can correct about an 1/8 with new u-bolts. some advice would be appreciated.

thanks

Any frame or alignment guys here?

Pics of the damage? This would help us get a better idea of what's going on.

Most times, depending on the hit, the leaf spring pin is broken and the axle is slid back a little on the spring. All you would need is a leaf spring pin (or 2, prob worth doing both sides) and some new u-bolts. Look for signs of movement around or between the spring perch, u-bolt, upper plate, and on the leaf spring.

U bolts on order. Ord. Damage is at front spring mount and cross member. Do you think it will take an alignment not sure where to get pins.

ORD would have pins as well.

I made a pin for mine. I took a fine thread bolt and ground the head into a circle to fit.
