Nope that is on the ground and after bouncing the front end around with all the CAs lose before torqin them down.

Sure looks like it is on a lift to me. You can see the hoist arms still on the frame, the shocks are out all the way, and the swaybar is way down......

In that position, it looks right.

This is what I was thinking and why I asked if i was on the ground or not, the new picks might help in understanding what's up with the axle not being in the proper spot there's only a few things that can make it be off and by going through them one by one you'll def figure out what needs to be addressed.

Yea the only thing i can think of is to rock the rest of the Adj Control arms and should get every thing squared away. 4wd has a smoken deal for holloween so going to jump on that and should fix it up...and a bit more flex win win!

Pretty sure you need to adjust your trackbar to recenter your axel..... Your swaybar links wouldn't look like that otherwise I don't think... And as others have said, I'm surprised that's on the ground.
