6 inch radius arm drop bracket frame twist

Hi, I noticed my RC 6 inch radius arm drop brackets are bending inwards \ / which is twisting the frame so the lower fender is being pushed out 1/2 inch from the doors.

A common problem?

Is there a fix for it or a way to stiffen them up?

TIA

Make a brace to go from one bracket across to the other. Make sure you get them straight before attaching.

What is the front cab mount doing? It's in the same area as the mount for the radius arm.

Solid axle swap. TTB is worthless with lift kits.
