Dave, I just looked at my suspension on my wildrod, looks similar to yours but no extreme ball joint angle on the top a arm? It appears by the pic that your spindle mounting ear for the top a arm is heavily angled resulting in the extreme angle on the ball joint?? Here is the pic of my front suspension, now these are dropped apindles that I replaced with standard height spindles but nothing has changed on angles except here its mocked up and the alignment is done now. I am wondering about the spindles, you might not have as much issue as you think.....maybe the parts are wrong. Also check that you don't have standard length lower a-arms with 5/8" narrower uppers resulting in a cock eyed match, you may need 5/8" narrower lowers (I did) If you have any questions call a reputable shop like Lakeshore fabrications at (573) 875-1500 and ask him he as makes custom a arms as well as many for others kits ex. Speedway. give your center line to ball joint dimension on the custom uppers, heck send him a pic and he will tell you the problem, great guy.
