My tires are in a funny angle after putting my lift on. One of my steering rods is bent as well. Is my tires at a funny angle becuase of that steering rod or do i need a front end alinement? Thanks

It's a solid axle, it's not like a modern car where the axles are independent. The only thing you can really do is balance your steering.



The bent rod you are talking about could be the reason. You should be able to slap a new one on and it could be all you need to do.

Mike, get that steering swapped out if its bent then go get an alignment. That should take care of it. Post pics if you want.
