BTW, Mine took 19 tons of force on a 20ton press. They did not want to move. I also added bump steer correction to the ackerman arm because Rebel Racing didn't exist.

I think the highway pull will go away once you dial in 4 corner alignment and corner balance.

Thank you.
I'd searched and read a bunch of threads about raising the spindles before I got started, so I felt like I had a decent idea what I was up against. But as with all things, theory and reality are a little different.
I only have a 12ton press from Harbor Freight. I really didn't have to mash it very hard at all to get mine to move. Grinding out the whole weld was really the trick there. I got close with the largest drill bit I have (I wish I had an end mill.) and then finished it off with a carbide burr in a big die grinder. (leftovers from porting the heads for the LS I put in my old M3)
I added a little more spring on the front right at a gas stop (remember the 11mm ratcheting wrench?) and the pull improved. I agree the alignment is going to make a big difference.
Good tip on the John Deere green. That stuff is everywhere here in central IN.
