I'm wondering if yours would be different since you have 245 tires and what size spacers??? Yours may look to be closer to center than mine (265's and 1.5 wheel spacers)Originally Posted by Matt

That wouldn't effect it since its a measure from each side. The edge of my tire sticks out nearly the same amount on both sides of the vehicle.... this would still be the case if I increased tire width or wheel backspace because neither of those have an effect on axle position.
My wheels are like having 2" spacers anyways.
Oh ok. Cool.

Hmmm.. I have the OME HD coils in the rear but no load leveling shocks and my axle was way off center. Not anymore thanks to Rusty's!

Probably has to do with factory tolerances. ... Maybe my axle originally favored the passenger side, so after the lift its barely off on the driver side...
How exactly did you measure to figure out its only off 1/8 inch? I was just thinking about it and I had trouble trying to get measurements when I installed the track bar. My axle was noticably off centered to the drivers side. I was underneith the XK for over 30 minutes trying figure out exactly how much it was off so I knew what to adjust the track bar to. I remember coming up with a measurement of 1/8 inch also but I knew that wasnt accurate. So I just ended up make a few adjustments to the track bar until it was visually centered left and right.

Pulled into garage (level ground )
Squared up driveshaft with tcase and diff to see if there was a notable angle indicating drive side skew... none.
Inspected position of upper & lower radius arms for similar angle.... non.
Visually inspected from ~15 feet behind vehicle to look to any signs the axle was pulled over to the driver side..... nope, looked centered from every reference point.
Finally took a 3' straight edge and figured out how far each tire stuck out in relation to the fenders.... driver side stuck out (barely)1/8" further.
..... the way people were saying their axles were way off I was expecting an easy visual, like when trucks with tweaked frames look like they're crab walking down the road.
Thats weird. Do you have any problem with your rear drive shaft hitting the gas tank when flexed out in the rear?

Didn't last time... we'll see this weekend when I disconnect the sway bar though
I haven't had any issues either. I was just asking because I know Sal mentioned he did.
