I think my issue is that my front spring have saved to much and inorder to get crossmember clearance the angle on the draglink is to great.

I couldnt make them any better.

Only thing i see is that there looks to be too much bend and it is too close to the pass side.

What did you use to bend it?

Used 12 ton shop press cause our pipe bender is only made for black pipe. Once the truck is driveable again ill take to my 4x4 buddy and have him bend another one. Third time a charm I hope
