Where did you go for the axle work?
We have a truck and trailer spring and alignment shop in town that dose some serious work on large trucks. $ 300 dollars and 2 hours then out the door. He did say if the axle is bent front to rear any where near the wheel spindle only a new axle will fix it. 375.00 for a new Dexter 7000 lb one, part only no labor. But I lucked out and just the center up and down camber adjustment was necessary. I watched them they put it on a giant wheel alignment platform, used chains and a hydraulic ram to bend the axle, kept playing with it till they were satisfied. At least now the axle isn`t bent down with a load on it. Only a few thousand miles will tell if they did a good job.
