Default Dog tracking after lowering.

I have question im hoping someone can help me shed some light on. I have a 2010 f-150 4x4 with a 3/4 djm drop. rear is the flip kit. There are centering pins on the axle and yet for some reason my truck still has a slight dog track... how can this be adjusted when there are centering pins? Not sure how fix this, but sick and tired of people telling my truck has a dog track!

I have the same problem... I just emailed djm and the guy I ordered mine from and put it on another site... Im hoping to try and put some sort of spacers in between the two brackets at the front of the springs... I'm not real impressed with the quality of this and I hope there is a solution

Broken or wrong diameter Center bolt will cause this.

had the same problem with DJM on my 07. Scrapped it for McGaughys and worked great. I run Belltech on my 12 with no problems. IMO djm is junk

did you have to use any shims for the pinion angle?

Serves you right for lowering a 4x4. Just kidding, I have no clue what dog track means but seriously, serves you right.

Rear wheels are out of align (not pointing straight ahead) and is pushing the back end of the vehicle to one side or the other.

I had the same problem with mine, swapped to a belltech flip kit and it solved it.
