Man this is great info! The axle is removed from the truck and is right now sitting on floor jacks with the wheels off. The leaf springs, U-bolts are off. The tie rod is still attached. Plans are to remove everything, sandblast, paint and reattach. I haven't removed the king pins yet. Is there anything in the front suspension that needs to be pressed back on to put back together? Also, my tie rod isn't perfectly straight. Has a few waves on the one end but not real bad. Is this of some concern? If so, can I straighten it myself with a BFH?
Thanks...
