I got to use the old bender. Haven't used it in years.

Track bar ready to weld.

I cut off the original lower mount and made a new one on top

Here's the upper mount. The bumpsteer is gone and steers firm now.

35s with some trimming of the front bumper.

Leaf springs don't require that to keep it centered, why did you go to the trouble of adding it?

Could be the 2 leaf setup, vans are heavier in the nose than a truck, I'd like a 4 link setup on one, maybe a truck frame under it with TTB to keep it sitting low, I used to jack up everything, lift kit, big tires and head up the trails, too expensive to play in the woods for me now tho, keep stuff tore up.
