rear track bar

ocwill1 · Apr 5, 2017

Question for the experts. I just got new tires/wheels. went from stock sport 20's (20x8) to 18x9 0 offset with 305/70/18 tires. I noticed the other day that the driver side rear sticks out about 1.5 inches, and the passenger side is flush with stock laramie flare. Guy at shop told me something about the rear track bar. Is there anything that can be done???

first I would check to see if the bed is centered on the frame

Did it look like that with the other wheels and tires?

Not lifted, 2500 with rear air... No idea on the stockers, they did not stick out at all, they were more inset... will check the bed, but I think it is ok, have not noticed up at cab that it is off...

If the bed is not misaligned its probably normal. Because you have rear air springs, the axle will shift depending on the height setting you are at. The track bar does not change length, lifted guys know this.

I would think though that OEM at normal ride height setting regardless of load, the axle should be centered.

If the axle isn't centered, I'd think it would be crab walking going down the road.

It's the nature of the beast. You have factory air suspension that moves up and down while the axle has a fixed relationship to the frame. Your axle was never centered, none of them are.
