Sounds like something is binding in the A-arm try checking the hinge pins . Take them out and roll them on a flat surface to see if they are straight you could've bent one by hitting a wall or curb or something like that . If they are straight chuck them in a low speed drill and hit them with some polishing compound even a small lil burr can hang something up . If after that it still hangs then look at the shock shafts . Take the shocks off the truck , open them up , dump the shock oil and see if the shock shafts are bent . If they are do a total rebuild new shafts , oil , seals  and pistons . That should free ya up if not take off the A-arm again and clean out the hinge pin holes . Take a drill bit 1 size up from the current hole size and bore out the holes ( DO THIS BY HAND DO NOT USE THE DRILL ) slide the drill bit in and out of the hole to remove any extra flashing or build-up that may have developed . You don't want to remove alot just enough to make it so the hinge pin slides easily in . You should now be good to go .

Thanks. I will strip it apart. it's odd never really worked right when i pulled it out of the box.... seems like u push it down 2" and it only comes up 3/4" front and back.

Ideally you want your ride height so the A-arms and dogbones are parallel to the ground

Working on yet another detail . I'm making my own decal of Robby's signature he has over the door with the lil American flag at the end of it . I have an old 31 Cingular / Looney Tunes die cast and the case thingy it's in has it on the box . Won't be much work mostly a matter of getting it transferred to the decal paper . I'll post a pic later as i'm posting this using my cell
