frame twist

[99PSD-White]

I have a early 99 CCLB lifted 6" and noticed when i flex my suspension my frame twists really bad!!! it twisted soo bad one time when i was stuck the door alignment was off and i could barly shut the drivers side door. Front bumper was smashing up into the headlight. any help? is this normal?

what about the cross beams. are they loose?

Mine does it too. No cracks or problems with mine. My door was ok, but my bumper was "smashed" up into the headlight and was maybe 4-5 inches different on either side. I just think the suspension is so stiff and the truck is so heavy it has to flex somewhere. Even the older F150's do it pretty bad. If everything looks good I would go with it.
