Wheels NOT Centered after drop

[nsb29]

Right side up or upside down or sideways will not change anything as the captain said only thing that changes the position of the wheels is the trailing arms or the crossmember

Yeah I know just thinking that’s what POL rep had suggested. I would like to eventually swap to tubular arms and what not so I could always move everything then but it’s just odd that I am the only one who has had such a drastic change in wheel base after lowering. Unless, maybe it was originally a Fleetside that has been swapped to a stepper? Not sure if the Fleetside had the wheel wells a little further back than step sides?

No.

If it was me I would take a couple inches out of my trailing arms and of course the driveshaft to match but then you’re going to run into another issue your nachos are in the wrong place

Moving anything suspension wise will alter other things like the above mentioned c-notch placement. Shift the bed or the bed-sides on the bed to get the look you seek.

was this truck born a longbox? i saw a guy at a show once who's wheels were like that, and they just miscalculated the short box conversion length.

As far as I know is original short box. Frame doesn’t have any fish plates/boxing. Didn’t see any scars from being under the knife and right behind the cab looks untouched.

I guess that is an option as well. Will have to toy with it. Appreciate all the input and ideas.
