wheel not centered in fender
Lowered my truck in rear 4" using coil springs. I installed shock relocater brackets and installed adjustable track bar. Now the passenger side wheel is one inch back in wheel well. Can this be fixed by adjusting track bar? If so how do I adjust. Drivers side is perfect.

Re: wheel not centered in fender
I would focus on getting the rear end square with the frame, along with the rest of the suspension including the front wheels. If youve done this already then maybe the box isnt square on the frame.
I think I've read on here elsewhere where the wheels wont be centered front to back, but i thought they sat farther foward, dont remember for sure though, either way I would think that it would be relatively equal on both sides. Last edited by sprint_9; 02-21-2017 at 10:41 AM. |

Re: wheel not centered in fender
Your Starting point will be measuring your wheelbase it should be 115 inches for a short bed

Re: wheel not centered in fender
^ I'd start here. You'd be surprised how much 'adjustment' there is in the U-Bolts/trailing arms to just getting the rearend square in the frame. If that is all good, I'd look at making sure the bed is right. It's possible things moved around on you or the rear thrust alignment got off when you did the rear suspension work - I assume you unbolted the u bolts to install the lower shock relocator brackets? Or maybe it was off before and now the bed is closer to the tire and you notice it now? Just thoughts.

Re: wheel not centered in fender
I had the same thing happen to me, but I had both my upper control arms swapped left for right, found this out while having the alignment done.they couldn't get the caster settings to adjust out enough, so my wheels were located further back in the wheel wells. Hope your issue is as simple as mine was.

Re: wheel not centered in fender
if it is a short bed have you verified that it is in fact a factory shortbed and not a homemade one
