Rear axle shifted
Truck has 6" rough country lift. Looks like the rear axle has shift to the passenger side but everything looks tight and there's no movement marks. Truck also has pro comp traction bars installed. Does anyone have any possible reasons or what I can looked to check.

First thought was don't you have to cut the frame? Maybe that made a difference (as in the angle you look at it?
Get a measuring tape and a square and start looking for where its off.

Are you for sure it wasn't like that before? I say that because on these trucks the rear axle is not perfectly centered and tends to be more on the passenger side. Mine is like that as well, but I never paid attention to it until I put in my AAL's and was looking over my work after the install. I have looked around at these model years in car lots to see if they are like that and even stock they are like that. I believe for did that for driveline related/powertrain related reasons just a guess though as I am not an engineer.

No subframe in the rear...
It is normal for the axle to be aligned more to the pass side. When I installed my 4" lift I noticed this too. Mine is like 3/16" more to the pass side.

There is no rear alignment on these trucks so it's perfectly normal.
