rear end alignment?
My back end is out of whack... (lol) ...it's off to the right so the right rear wheel sticks out 1/4-1/2" more than the left. Is there a way to fix that easily? Do they make kits or anything that would help? Thanks!

Yeah! Get side swiped on the right rear rim!!!! 
It's normal for GM trucks to have this issue. Has the truck ever been in a wreck? If not, you are fine. There is no fix to this. At least not an easy one.
Your just going to have to stop looking at it so much and just DRIVE IT!

Yep, my truck has the same "problem" too but it looks like the left side sticks out instead of the right. It is a typical issue just like the Chevy lean...

What is going on is that the motor is shifted to the passenger side to make room for the steering box, so the rearend is moved over that little bit to keep the drivetrain straight.. You can find this problem on most cars/trucks..

Yeah, that's how or why most of us post about it being off or leaning to one side. Lower the truck down closer to the tires and you'll see the GM imperfections...
