What would cause this? One rear tire closer to wheel well. See pic

    Yeah, if the centering pin that goes thru the leaf pack broke during/after the AAL install, then the rear axle could have shifted back. Measure the bed to cab clearance like others suggested and if the bed isn’t the source of your issue, measure the leaf spring mount to the axle housing.

    Is that normal for a 2nd gen? I noticed that same thing with mine as well...Right rear tire sticks out a little more than the Left rear.

    Just got off the phone with dealership, it was indeed just the bed being off.

    So I'll need to fix that at a bodyshop or get some friends and do it.
    Suspension/lift is fine.

    Curious how much they soaked you for that diagnosis?

    Anyway, correction is simple. From post 10.

    You can easily do it by yourself, extra hands just make it a bit faster to accomplish. Assuming they are competent hands of course.

    Yes. It is completely normal. I’ve spoken to my tech( master mechanic 35 yrs) and to Toyota engineers. Their answer was, it’s for harmonics with the driveline.

    Thanks for the reply. That's pretty interesting information to know. It's annoying to look at since I can be a little OCD at times LOL
