Ive heard mention of this in a couple threads, but could not find any information on it or if its something that I can correct. My axle seems to be about .5-1" off center towards my passenger side. It was like this before I installed the DJM drop kit and with my 10" wheels and drop, it has just become more noticeable. The truck drives perfectly straight and handles great, its just visual for the most part.

Normally, I wouldnt care, except I am finding that my tires are getting cut by the fender(even after rolling) on the passenger side and the driver side has never touched the fender at all.

Is there any fix to this that I am not away of to "re-center" the axle under the truck? Ill try to grab some pictures this weekend.

Thanks in advance for any help on this!
 
Are you sure its the axle thats not centered under the frame? or is the the bed thats not centered on top of the frame???


Grab a tape measure and find out.

Wouldnt I see the bed offset from the body at the cab? I would definitely notice that, Im a freak when it comes to paint and straight bodies..haha. Ill measure anyways though, never know..

My uncle bought the '01 Ranger I've got now brand new. It was 2 days old when I had to readjust both the cab and bed because they werent perfect.
 
Ill definitely check it out.
