Homemade headake rack

I've wanted one for a while for looks and to add work lights but couldn,t justify the $300 so i made one from scrap metal around the farm. It isn't perfect but for no expense it will work
I'll try posting but it probabially wont work so i'll put pics in my link too

my dads 94' does that. I got t-boned in it last year and it has sat off ever since. Theres no visable frame damage but my guess is its twisted just a little. You may have the same thing. Could be from towing, tendency to load 1 side more. Your springs could be more fatigued on one side
