Leveling a king pin I beam

[mentalbreakdown00]

I do alignments everyday, am a service tech, but have never had to try to align an older king pin I beam ford. Now i have one and want to level it... any ideas? Only wanna go one inch in front....

I believe they use to bend the axle.

That's how I've heard it done on those too (or you must use drop brackets).

You heat the crap out of it and bend them. My old F100 was slammed, C notched, and it needed bent from axles in it to get it to sit right.

I think I remember a hydraulic unit was used to bend them on my '68 F-100 back in the mid '70s.
