If nothing else, i suppose you could jack up the front end on the lower A arm and see if it does it?

Default Any1 help?

So i have a 96 4wd dakota i did the 3" lift and made it close to level with the rear since ive added the 3" lift blocks vut had to crank the torsion keys a bit and its made my axle angle so bad its ripping my axle boots 4 days after i installed new detroit axles..was wondering if anyone has ever found lower control arms n longer knuckles to hopefully correct this, very hard to find parts!

There are companies that make 'high angle' axles, but, they are not cheap..... Another problem you are going to see is, by cranking up the torsion keys, you are losing a fair bit of suspension travel. (droop), makes for a rough ride.

Drop brackets for the front diff might be easier to find......
