Hey guys, about a year or so ago I had put new HD leaf springs on my 97 dodge ram 1500 4x4 club cab. Found out after an alignment that my thrust angle was out about 3/8”. So I just installed an alignment plate from Specialty products and adjusted it. Measured from center of hub front to center of hub rear and it was about 1/2” off towards the passenger side so I figured ok I adjusted it too much. ( this was also done in my very not level driveway). Leaf springs started creeking while driving so it keep reminding me “ yea I need to readjust that”. Got it on flat level ground now and figured before I do anything I’m going to remeasure. So knowing the wheelbase for this truck is 139”, remeasured and I’m getting 139 1/2” on both sides. My question is after all the research I did and everything saying a half inch is still acceptable for spec. Would any of you guys stress over it being a half inch closer over it being exactly spot on 139”? Let me know. Also truck drives straight and no tilted steering wheel.

 

If it drives good, doesn't wear the tires in an odd fashion, that's all you care about.

 

Gotcha, thanks
