some quick questions
ok im lowering the truck by removing leaves front and rear , and was told i need alignment shims for the front axle , go in between the axle and springs or perches . i for the life of me have been mulling over it trying to figure what i'd be changing so drastically , so does anyone have an answer ?? also i was kinda looking around for a shorter pitman arm , new or off something else to help with the bump steer . i was told by one of our advertisers tech people that a front sway bar would really help with this by controlling the side to side movement , instead of hunting for the goose that lays golden eggs . so what do ye say ? last, anyone ever seen or have a slip yoke for the t-89 heavy four i got in my beast ?? i never have been a fan of two peice driveshafts , and if there is such an animal i'd like to lay hands on one to go back to my oe driveshaft . no problems with anything on the two peice , just my preference .

reacts as above you do not need wedges. Cannot help you with other problems. Bump steer is a matter of geometry as has been explained many times in this forum, so I`d say there is no magic wand to fix other than getting geometry correct.
By the way, I want to thank you one more time for the `56 dash panel you sold me about a year ago. there are some pics in my gallery, showing what I did with it, so thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and your Family.
