Default Front axle looks off?

After installing 4" Allsports drop axle I was measuring for fender flares by standing a level up against bottom and top of tire. Driver side tire is over an inch further away from cowl than the other side? When I installed the lift, there's only one way to mount the front so there's no adjusting side to side. Is this going to be a problem down the road?

Weak spring on passenger side? .. but usually weak on the drivers side.

edit: opps after re-reading I see side to side not up and down..

That only works if the floor is perfectly level

Over an inch different means only 1/2 inch off... which makes for a 1” swing... you may find that much adjustment by loosening all the spring mount bolts and shoving it over before retightening... just a thought

I'll answer for him.. he's talking about loosening the 6 bolts where the springs hook to the axle and see if you can kick it over a 1/2".

If not and you loosen the back bolts you might have to pull the rockers and floor-mat to get a wrench on em to tightened back up. (pain in the butt)

Yeah... I’d loosen all the bolts and push it over...if you loosen the phillips screws on the stainless trim on the passenger side a few rounds... you can usually slip the mat out and back in without completely removing it and it aint too big a hassle

Thanks! I'll give it a try and see if that helps. It doesn't drive like anything is wrong, it just looks wrong!.
