Wierd deal with my axle!!!!!
I was looking today, after rotating my tires. My axle isnt sitting flush under my truck!!! Its actually shifted from what I can tell to the right side of my truck like 1/4 inch. Is that normal?? Nothing is loose, doesnt look like anything has shifted. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Cause im flat lost.
I measured from the outside edge of my leaf spring to a point on my tire. Did that on both sides and it was the same. BUT then I measured from the frame rail to a point on my tire and the numbers varied about 1/4 maybe a bit more.

I noticed that a couple months ago too. I was behind my truck looking at the right tire and it was almost flush with the top of the wheel opening while the left side was in a little. Haven't thought much about it but it sure seems strange.

I remember reading a while ago that this was a common thing, even with stock trucks, having the axle offset by 1/4-1/2''. Similar to the Chevy lean
