Just curious if anyone has had trouble getting an alignment inspec after installing van control arms on their trucks? I just got mine back from the shop, and they said they had a real hard go with it? Looking down from the top, the cam bolts don't seem to be in the same position when comparing the drivers side to the passenger side? I think they were comparable before. My dodge lean seems to be back on the front after the alignment too. I installed all new bushings, ball joints , and the van control arms, along with new shocks and coil springs. The shop said they working on it a very long time and they are super honest. Just curious to hear other people's experience with this install. Now to get the leaf springs sitting level.........dodge lean is strong on this truck. It's a 78. Thanks everyone

Just a quick update, I still haven't bolted the sway bar on since it looks like I might have to move it forward on the frame, due to the new control arms. I had lowered the back just using Chevy shackles, but it still had a pretty bad rake, and the dodge lean. I had the back springs rearched to lower it more, and get rid of the lean. The truck drives better then ever now, and even seems better at low speeds. I am really happy with the way this project turned out. It's going to be even better with the front sway bar. Thanks to everyone who has posted about lowering these trucks, using the search I was able to find so much info and tips.
