Got this from Cunningham Machine $100 less than the other that people use & pretty much a bolt in. Though if I was in a better situation or was going for show I’d spend the extra for the major brand since you can get it in stainless.

Next thing I need is the speedway motors rear springs to match crown Vic fronts and get another alignment with extra weight on driver floor board since I’m 6’2” 330lb

If you can measure the drop you achieved, you can fix the camber/caster with a simple formula. For every 1/2 inch of drop remove .060" (approx 1/16") of shims from each stack. Measure the drop from the bottom of the wheel opening to the center of the axle. I measured my stock OCC, and it is about 16".

@IndyL03,
On their website, Cunningham Machine only shows steering shafts for 88'-94' and 95'-00' OBS GM Trucks. Which one did you use?

I bought the universals on ebay, and made my own. It cost me less than $100. I used stainless universals, and cut up a couple of old OEM steering shafts. You could even get away with making the part on the left side of the picture, and using the OEM part for the right side of the picture.
