    Can you post pics of where the springs are sitting on the axle? Although I think you would have noticed if the guide pin wasn't seated in the hole.

    Never put much thought into why, stock springs let the rear axle stick out noticeably further on the passenger side, mine was 1”. The aftermarket replacement springs on my truck corrected this, and did require slight alignment tweak to drive straight. Only put it on alignment rack once after, even though the axle is now centered it shows being offset to the driver side 1”. :notsure:

    Did you do the work? Do you know if the guide pin on the bottom of the leafsprings are in the same position hole on the axle? There’s 3 hole to choose from, the middle one is where it normally is.

    I don't see anything that looks out of place. Are those Alcans? Luckily I didn't have any issues with mine other than creaking noises. I think that's due to torque settings not being what they need to be.

    I have the Alcans on mine. If I remember correctly, the guide pin will only fit the center hole, but I could be wrong. It's been about a year or so since I did mine.

    Judging by the sway bar, it looks like you added some lift with the Alcans - if only an inch or two? This effectively change the castor and can make an alignment issue more noticeable. It may have existed before but is more pronounced now. Either way, have the alignment checked.

    My stupid mistake..had tires rotated an I had two different brand tires in front.same size but different brands. Had t.t rotate the odds one to rear an put matching tires in front an all is will.ya getting 4 new .nittos put on. Odd one was a emergency replacement in AZ. So I take all responsibility for my screw up.
