Re: Rear axle dog legged
If you have a come along attach it to the front axle or a cross member, something solid, and winch it into place. It will help to loosen the passenger side u bolts, in fact loosening the passenger side will probably allow you to do it by hands.
Use common sense and don't go pulling hard and risk bending whatever your winching from, use alot of blocks/jackstands and whatever else you can come up with. Whenever I replaced rear spring shackles on mine I picked up the rear end of the truck with a tractor and did it, of course I had the bed off so I wasn't under the truck.

on second though, find a factory hole in the frame and rig a chain through it on the same side you need to pull the axle and use that as your pull point, you will be less under the truck and less likely to bend a cross member or front axle if you really go putting tension in the rigging.
