GEN 2 Rear Wheel Position Different From Driver To Passenger Side

[MZRaptor72]

So i’ve seen a post on this buried in another discussion... but for the life of me can’t find it. I have a 2019 and just ordered Icon Springs for the back and Geisers for the front. I plan on running my stock bead locks with stock 35” tires for now. But i have been researching wheel spacers to bring the wheels out a tad.

Issue #1: I get it that the front and rear wheel/tire “positions” are different... i.e. the front tires stick out about 1/2” wider than the rear. From what I’ve read, the Geisers may change that so I’ll wait on spacers till after i put on the springs to verify if i need 2 different width spacers.

BUT...

Issue #2: why the hell would one of my rear tires stick out further than the other rear tire??? I was measuring across the outside of the tire with a straight edge to see where it lays in relation to the outside of the fender... to try to determine how thick of a spacer i need. However, in my case... the passenger rear sticks out like .5” further than driver side!!! WTF???

I know someone else was dealing with this as well... but can’t find the post to see what they did. What do you guys think it is?? What would cause this issue? Something is clearly out of whack, right??

I should have taken pics with the straight edge but I at least took these... you get the point anyway. Any help or guidance as to how to address this would be appreciated!

Camera angle? Bed not aligned?

Measure from the inside rim to the frame, too many variables otherwise.

The camera angle probably is squirrelly... but it shows the gist. That was my point about the straight edge... it would have illuminated it much better. Sorry.

I hadn’t thought about bed alignment. But nothing in the trucks lines have jumped out at me. Will have to look closer tomorrow.

There is a spacer video on YouTube where the same thing was discovered. He loosened the u-bolts and persuaded the rear end over 1/4" to even it up.

Interesting... do you have a link or a title ?

I did find a thread called “Real Axle Shifted”... with a lot of info on the topic. Sounds fairly common actually... and annoying.
