Not sure what happened or how to adjust this? After installing my DJM flip the axle is close to 3/4" closer to the passenger side wheel well, the centering pins are lined up in the proper holes in the bracket. Any suggestions on how to slide the axle over a bit? Anyone else have this issue?

Your flip kit bracket on the passenger side may be on backwards. See how the bracket that sits on the leaf spring has the hole off center, you need to flip it around.

it sounds like he is saying the whole rearend shifted to the right... kinda like how it'll move a little side to side with a panhard bar.

hmmm weird issue you've got here, as already stated I would check to see if the bed is centered correctly. if not I'm not sure where the problem could be coming from.... could you post up a couple pics and maybe some of the rear end where it's seated in the saddles?

I'm starting to think the same thing. How do I go about aligning the bed? Its even with the cab on both sides, although the passenger side sits about 1.5 lower than the driver side (I did notice that before lowering). Do I just pull the bed bolts and try to slide the bed over a bit? That should be easy enough.

yeah you can just loosen the bed bolts then slide it around on the frame to adjust it. but if you say it's even on both sides that pretty much eliminates the bed being off. is it possible your truck was wrecked in the past and something is tweaked?
