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 |

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!.
