lets see a picture of his setup! if my memory is right I think the ram has an angle to it , that would be the first thing I would fix , also on these little axels preperation is key here is the list of what I did..........
-hot tanked the knuckes and chased threads
-arp studs on the top and red lock tight the studs top and bottom make sure the studs bottom out
-new trunion bearings and shims also take my time and shim it right
-marlin billet high steer arms with nuts torqued to 80lbs top and bottom
-ram setup right so it does not have any angle on the knuckle "pushing up or down is bad"
-double shear the 3/4 hiem off the ram to the high steer arm
-check all bolts on my front end everytime I go out so I can beat the snot out of it
