Right front wheel protrudes further than left?

No, it has never been in any accident. I actually found the first owner and have since made friends with him. I asked him directly if it had ever been in an accident.



LISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTEN. I'm not having a great day with ole KidWgn, so I'm a little extra touchy lmao.

By repeating "nearly the same", I thought you were stating that the difference of being on flat ground vs my driveway was too much for me to say "nearly the same".

It's enough of a difference that the RF tire scrubs the inner fender, whereas the left does not, which is irritating. I'll be outside with it tomorrow, so I'll get pictures on flat ground, measure the ride height again, and try to get a good measurement of how much protrusion difference we're talking here.
If it scrubs, that is not right. Gotta figure it out. Forgot that you had mentioned the scrubbing earlier.

Offset the same on all the wheels? Do the studs protrude the same amount from the rotors on either side?

It's about 1/4", maybe a touch more. Everything is straight, no accidents, camber is even...I don't get it.

Anyone else?
Are you sure everything is aligned properly cause if you have the original tire size on the truck , your springs and shocks are at the right height, and never been in an accident. IMO there is no way you should be scrubbing a fender when doing a hard turn. Any vehicle is tested at full weight and high speed turns to be sure this does not happen. If it is happening you need to get thd specs and visit a good alignment / suspension shop.

Obvious from the pics that offset or tire size in not stock . Tires do no extend past the fenders on a stock truck.

Uh, yeah...no kidding. :wtf2: lmao.

That doesn't change the fact that one side protrudes further than the other
