You guys are awsome. I'll try the upper control arms first since they are adjustable. If that doesn't work I'll cut it and weld. Thanks

In this case he would need to do that on both sides.

Ok. I'll take your advice and if the control arms don't fix it I'll go with the pitman next. If it doesn't stop raining here nothings going to get done. Thanks

if u adjust your upper control arms your gonna screw up your angles... there adjusted that far because thats what the aligments machine needs them at in order to get the right "stock" readings... if you move it and then go get an alignment like your suppose to... there gonna move it right back...
