Default 2012 fx2 super crew install djm 4" flip HELP!!!!

A friend and I just installed djm 4" flip for my 2012 f150 and I have a question ... I installed it and the frame does not seem to e even on both sides and the brackets seem to rest differently on each side and the bolts were too short, how do u usually correct all this when u install it, and how do u adjust the axle to center in the wheel well ? Anyone have similar problems ? Also how is the pinion angle adjusted ?

Can you take some pics of how the axle sits on the springs. Both sides

pinon angle is adjusted with the top plate on the flip kit... before you tighten the ubolts you adjust the angle and tighten that two bolt plate.... as far as the centering in the wheel well... i dont think there is that adjustment, however my kit has no problems that way, just the fact the side to side it out causing the truck to dog track slightly, i do not notice this while driving, and the guy the did my alignment told me it was out a hair but not enough to cause issues to tires and such. However its getting really annoying having every second person who drives behind me telling my truck dog tracks!

You don't have a bracket on correctly. It is as simple as that. Maybe the alignment pin isn't seated properly on one side. I would loosen everything and double check it.

The other possability is one of the brackets got bent in shipping?

Dog tracking won't have any issue on tire wear so that isn't a concern.

Looks like the front hangers are to far forward. Toward the front of the truck. Notice how the front leaf spring bolt doesnt line up with where it was mounted on before.
