To clarify for people it isn't offcenter in a functional way I think he means the wheel sets back further in the wheel well as seen inth epic below. It is far less prominent with larger tires. With SAS vehicles you can use lwer control arms to move the axle forward, IFS is a bit trickier... some places like to use cam bolts but it really isn't needed

Sorry I wasn't more clear in my comment, but as Tampa stated this is correct. I ordered my kit and the more I looked at pics the more I started to notice this.

Thanks for the clarification on that. I'll have to think hard about doing this now, as I'll probably trade for a Super Duty in the next year or so.

I'm kinda curious what causes that now, though.

if you check out the sticky thread at the top of this forum, there are several pix that show trucks with levels and none of that tire off center stuff. maybe his alignment isn't exactly right.

I have a 2.5 level kit from as, and all I did was align the truck and everything seems exactly the same as factory except its leveled perfectly. I did have an axle shaft problem though.
