Rear Wheel Alignment/Spacing

[JLT]

F150 Friends,

Wasn’t sure what to call this post but wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this at all. I just recently replaced my factory wheels and tires on my 2021 Platinum PB with a set of Fuel Blitz 20x9 +20mm offset and 295/60 R20 Recon Grapplers. I noticed this with the factory setup but didn’t think much of it and now that I have a wider stance it’s even more noticeable. So the issue is the back passenger tire is sticking out further than the rear driver side tire. Looks like it could be almost 1/4”. For a year now I have not experienced any issues with how the vehicle drives and the tires all seem to have worn evenly. Something just doesn’t seem right. My thought is maybe it’s the way the body is positioned on the frame of the truck due to the design of the Powerboost model.

That has never caught my eye, I’ll have to check tomorrow!

Tolerance stack.
Rear end is positioned off one way ( but within tolerance)
Box is shifted the other way.

In myFormer Ranger and my 98 K 1500, the box had quite a bit of movement once the bolts were installed.
The 21 F150 long bed on mine is off a bit as well.

Body drop on the line is just that—dropped
And then bolts are run in by machine.
Not a human in the cage doing final adjusting.

If the truck is not dog tracking, no issue other than cosmetic

It's probably better than average. I'm pretty picky and that is not something I would be bothered by.

You might be able to tweak the box a little if you loosen the mounts but I wouldn't even try.

Let me know what you see when you get a chance to look! Thanks for the reply!

On the 13th gen every single f150 I've seen on the road was pushed to the passenger side by about 3/8, maybe 1/2". Including mine. I tried to shift it all to the driver's side and loosened up the u bolts and gained about 1/8, so it's still 3/8 off.

14th gen from my observation are much closer to even. There must have been a reason on the 15-20 because they were always pushed to the passenger side and the wheel tuck in the drivers side was just gross.
