check your center pins on the leaf springs in back

yeah the only thing that will cause this is the thrust angle of the rear axle(alignment). check the pins like grinch4om stated, or if the trucks ever been wrecked you could have some diamond in the frame.

You may also want to take a look at the bushings for your leaf springs they aren't something that typically wheres out, but they can. It doesn't take much to add up to 6 degrees.

yea, maybe on of the brackets where the axle seats is off when u lowered it, i think the holes are offset and it can change the alignment if backwards

it has a flip kit.so it has a relocation bracket.
when i installed it.the pin on the bottom of the leaf spring was hitting the metal pease that the ubolts go threw

and no its never been in a crash

if im understanding right, there should be a hole in that piece for the pin? if there ismnt, or its not lined up, that could be the problem
