Paul, skill sets is the operative word here. Personally, I would replace the whole axle and see if that corrects the problem, before messing with bending one. If, I did not have access to a good front end shop that is. This is because I have many used ones available. Those of you that like to drop your trucks down low are asking for a serious set of problems, in my opinion. I personally like the looks but feel that it ruins the truck for anything that it was designed for. It is no longer a truck. Of course you most likely are not going to haul anything heavier than a picnic basket. I like to set up high with a good range of fire.

Rich, I agree! Usually if the camber is off severely at stock height, there is another problem. Not knowing the history of the beams, it is hard to determine if they have been bent to suit the previous application.
