More updates.

Got the mudflaps off.

I have some serious tire shredding rubbing on the passenger side fender.
Right turns put the tire right into the bottom rear of the fender, nice sharp sheetmetal in that area.

Left turns seem to be ok now that the mudflap is off.
Might rub if turning over a bump, or into a driveway, but nowhere near as bad as the right side does.

It looks like passenger side is sitting back an inch more than the driver side.
This looking at the side of the truck, and how the tire is centered under the fender.
Can't really see it in the above photos, due to the angle of the shots.
Might have to take some straight on ones tomorrow.

The only thing I see different betweent the two sides is the way the spring is sitting.
Driver side, the bottom end of the spring is &quot;pointed&quot; towards the differential.
Passenger side, the end of the spring is pointed due front.

Would this be enough to make it that far off?
Does how the spring sits make it &quot;taller&quot;?
And wouldn't that throw the alignment off, and be noticeable to the alignment tech?

Going to take it to a dedicated off road shop tomorrow and see if they have any hints.
(just make left turns only to get there )

Supposed to take it back to Les Schwab in 100 miles so they can check how everything has &quot;settled&quot;.
I'll surely point this out to them.

Still, I love the way it looks.
So much better than stock.
Can't fathom how it would look if it had the 245's the doorjamb sticker says it came with.

More updates forthcoming.
