None here. When I swapped the Dana 30 for a 44, I followed the tech article on Wild Horses website and adjusted my C bushings until both radius arms were touching the ground. I had to adjust them a few times but finally got them correct.

Geary OK.
Same here when I first put the radius arms back on the axle there was about 2" difference between them. I kept adjusting until both sat even on the floor and about the same distance from the axle. It took almost an hour to get it right.

Mine was flat before with OE radius arms when I bought it and it was still flat after installing the CAGE long arms. No fuss, no muss. Now the rake...that's a whole 'nuther matter.

My 67 has alway been level. My wifes 73 dose not lean in the front but leans in the rear by about 2" on the passenger side. I think I have a broken leaf.

It's all about following the tech articles, using lots of grease, torquing your c clamp bolts in a crisscross-cross pattern and patience. It's takin me a lot of years to learn how to pace myself so I can do it right the first time.

No lean after installing a 2.5" lift. Followed the same tech article as the other folks here. Took a few trys before I bolted everything back up but the time was well worth it.
