This may be the case. I'm trying to find good places to measure. There's some variation between the bumper and each fender sheetmetal, but not enough to account for the amount the passenger-side tire projects from the wheel well. I'm not overly concerned if it's just cosmetic... it is an old truck after all. But with the front springs as they are I was concerned something got torqued or bent to throw the axle off. I do have a mild vibration at certain speeds that I haven't been able to isolate.
