ball joints on wrong?
 

Just wondering if I put these on wrong? It was the way they came, but I have seen others where the balljoint is on the other side. I think i need to flip it and the control arm

yes they are both on wrong, flip the arms over then put the ball joints in from the top on the other side and you should be golden :)

The ball joint normally goes on the top like you have it,... but I think you a-arm is upside down.
Got any pics further away?

edit:
I type too slow,... ha.

Make sure you have the a-arms on the correct sides of your truck.
They are definitely lefts and rights.

they are on the correct side, one has D one P. Been running them like that for a while, but just realized the arm looked a bit off when looking from tht top. I'll filp them.

this is what my ride techs are showing. according to the instructions, the D & P will face down (other makers may be stamped differently). the photo is my drivers side.

I bet you have a big caster change when you flip them over.
Should be alot better!

Yep, that explains why the alignment shop could not get it right. Been Rollin the other way for a couple hundred miles. Tore it all back down for the 5.3 swap and noticed the ball at the last show others had them flipped. Couldn't find the old instructions, thanks. They have been flipped now.
