Right front wheel protrudes further than left?

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

Anyone else?

I know the caster settings are different left-to-right to account for driver weight and typical road crown. I don't know how much different. But maybe it's enough that the wheel sits in a position less covered by the fender?

I thought that maybe it was some type of optical illusion as suggested. The RF tire JUSSSSSSSSSST scrubs the fender on a good hard dip. Trying to figure out if maybe there's something I should be checking that I'm not thinking about here. I'll get pics tomorrow

Is it higher on the right? That drive looks like a slope. Is it completely level?

Yes, as in, within .05.

For ***** sake. I'll take pictures on flat ground :eyeroll:
No need to get upset. My meaning is that it is too little to care about as long as it does not hinder the handling and safety of the truck. :cool:

Has it been wrecked before? Did I miss that info?

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.
Holy mackerel lol

I spent most of my life in KC, Mo. St. Louis people can be touchy. I would be too if I had to live under an arch all the time. Plus, "The Mighty Missa Pee Pee" is in the backyard.

There's that!
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.
