Hello all been a long time since I've gotten time to look into my hobby and truck but I am need of help.
97 454 4 Door Dually Long bed.
In the future I plan to drop my truck. Probably using a 5/7 DJM kit while maybe long time later switching to air.. That's still up in the air. Anyway I need measurements to check what the hell is bent in my front end. I can't get a alignment perfect but I can get damn near close but I am maxed out. (Forgive me for not being able to say what i maxed out its been almost 2 years since I've touched this topic and became apparent when my tire is straight up shredded on the inner passenger side).
Long story short truck was in a accident that the impact broke the Tie rod on the passenger side. Most shops I've taken it to for alignment just say "Somethings bent but we don't know but we will charge you (insert stupid amount here) to find it. So I would like some measurements for the A arms to front and rear of wheel well. (think that will tell me if something is wrong with the A arm. I am asking here because this will also tell me if the driver side took anything (the truck was hit from the passenger side but got "squished" into a curb which the driver side did not jump the curb but got smashed against). Any other measurements or better ones to check I would help tremendously.
