I was involved in an accident and the front suspension was greatly affected, it broke the steering gear box output shaft and affected other suspension items, upper control arm, lower control arm, the shop replaced the upper control arm and the lower control arm with a 11000# control arm, now my left wheel set further back than the right wheel and when turning rubs the plastic shield, not to mention the alignment is not correct, anyone know the difference between the "except 11000# gvwr" and the under 11000# control arm?

Would be cool to build a 2wd Cummins that drives like it's on rails.

Maybe slightly lower it with sticky rubber upgrade steering control arms shocks maybe get rid of leads in the rear for a 4link on coils.

 

Ohhh wait you just want to get it right side to side. I'd just get matching control arms  on it or at the very least verify that the different control arms are intact different.  I'd probly also check to make sure frame isnt fubbared.

 

The voice in the back of my head thinks the different numbers between arms might actually have the same dimensions and may work together fine.

 

Also think castor is adjustable and may be set incorrectly making the truck look different side to side. I'm trying to picture the 2wd arms in my head and cant quite see how it adjusts castor. 

 

Look into good shops no idea where youd look maybe contact the smaller diesel shops and go fro  there they will no good guys who do good work. I like shoes with 3 or less mechanics working. If there's 6 or guys running around looking like monkeys on a football stay away

 

Good luck
