ya need to take the weight off of the truck and remove the torsion bars, and re index, if ya want to use it

I couldnt help but notice it looks like ya got the djm or bell tech, drop arms there,(LCA) I have no experience with them , but it does not appear to be the problem

the front locator arm may bind also , I had to remove mine its the bar that connects to the front of the LCA and bolts under the rad support. I plan on triangulating my lowers

Disloacte your steering from the spindle too at that point it should move freely , other than that .......?

I think ya may have gotten it all otherwise

Search, tubbin n dubbin, for my build thread, I got lots o pics it may help

thanks mazdamandan!
took the torsion bars off. that was it.
next step is to cut the fender wells out. and then find the right location for the bag brackets. Problem is when I started this project my father in law was bragging that he had a welder that I could use. since the start I found out today that he sold it! so now I have to locate a welder.
O'well here's the pics:
