1) How much is your frame twisted?
I’m curious what seems to be normal in these old rigs?
I guess some standard of measurement would be needed for consistent usable info.
My 1973 isn’t complete, so my measurements were with rig weight on and my rear leafs tacked, shackle angle set. I leveled the rear. Then I balanced the front (no axle installed) on a single point on front x member, engine/tranny/tc weight in, so that the front could more or less freely roll laterally.
In this condition, with rear level, my front left is ⅜” to ½” low. Measured from level floor to bottom of frame near spring hanger(SR)
And further, if yours has twist, how does it track down the road? Does it drive well or not? Any pulling?
2) I figure I could build my front spring hangers to level my front. I’d have to add thickness on the right to have Springs be level. But is that a dumb idea? What might that do to drivability? Perhaps I should consult a frame shop. Maybe I’m over thinking it. Crap, my 4Runner leans
