Limiting straps will resolve that problem, I have some here, but just haven't gotten around to putting them on.

Shocks shouldn't effect alignment, but may cause some bump steer especially if one is in better condition or valved differently than the other. You are likely to experience bump steer on an H2 from a bad steering stab, worn/dmaged steering components, or even from a bad toe setting. I replaced the steering stab to a Rancho also. How do I test steering linkage? I took my car in 5 times for alignment in about 4 months, and I made the dealership do it each time. Now they think there's nothing wrong. Instead of getting upset with them, I'm trying to methodically replace and look at one piece at a time, because they won't work on it anymore and insist nothing is wrong with it.

That sounds more like an alignment issue and/or steering issue, than just shocks. Shocks shouldn't change the alignment at all, just the way it handles. I know, but I needed to do something. I'm going crazy. My car was riding like it was on marshmellows.

I think I just need to do like Paragon and measure against a new car. I can even measure against my g'friends that is not wheeled that much.
