Tundra Bed to Axle alignment?

I'm using a general alignment shop which came highly recommended and where all the shops that do lifts on 4x4s take the vehicles before handing the keys back to the owners - we talked about tire pressure and my lift and future plans for a locker/4" lift and different tires etc as well way before the headache got worse. SUPER knowledgeable. Like, I'd marry this guy for his brains and mechanical ability if he was single!! ha ha! not kidding!!!

I will definitely be in better shape next time so should remember everything that happens. Kiddo gave me the sinus infection ugh

 

So you finally found a guy to loosen the U-bolts and knock your axle over.

 

BTW, the ones who voted on the 3rd line will have results.................how's those phone calls going with the dealerships and manufacturer.

 

I hope we’ve all learned this has nothing to do with the bed. Measure the distance from frame to wheel. Mine is 1” further out on passenger side. If I could move my axle 1/2” to the left, that would center it. But I don’t think the alignment pins on the springs allow any movement in any direction. It’s a fault that Toyota isn’t bothering to correct. That’s shitty engineering.

 

Do you have a rear lift?

 

I do. I have Toytec shackles providing 1.5" lift. It was the same when I used block spacers for the lift.

 

If you messed with the u bolts I'd say there is a specific sequence to tighten those down to prevent this issue from being accentuated

 

Leave well enough alone. It’s even the same on other manufacturers.

 

I put 3/4” spacers on my 3 other wheels problem solved.

 

Any updates about this, OP?

 

I would have never noticed it myself.

As for my wife on the other hand, she could detect a 3/4 inch difference easily (said with tongue in cheek of course).

Sorry, couldn't help myself..........I'll go back to reading the forum.
