How's this for coincidence? I just checked my dad's '09 F350 and it's offset in the back just like the F150. Just being silly here, but they didn't design em like that to make tighter left hand turns did they?

 

I knew a girl years ago that one of her, aw never mind......

 

Interesting, i did not know this, i went outside to check my new 2010 and it does look like the right rear sticks out another half inch to an inch or so....Not really noticable but that sucks!

 

 

Well I measured my dad's truck, took a 4 ft level and placed it against each fender and got the level lined up perfect. The passenger rear tire is dead even with the bottom of the fender and the driver's side is offset an inch.

That can't be a design flaw if it's the entire F series lineup can it? The only exception would probably be duallies, who knows. My truck was built in Kansas City and his was built in Kentucky.

 

Is your dad's truck an 09 ? F150 ?

 

'09 F350 single rear wheel.

 

I had the same issue and all it was, was the box was not straight. Had a tapering gap between the box and the cab too.

Probably just being over looked.

 

I checked mine this weekend and if there is any difference it is every so slight ( I am talkning barely noticeable). Mine is an 2010 and built in KC.

 

Thanks for bringing this issue up guys, my driver sideis offset about an inch. Its gonna bug me now every time I look at my truck now.

 

I will have to check mine too as soon as it comes in this week. It is not just Fords either, I was following a late model GMC 1/2 ton on interstate a couple days ago and that was very noticeably offset too. Right rear was over to the right and actually drove down the highway crooked.

 

Good point, see this:

A guy on another forum says it's as simple as loosening the u bolts and shifting the axle over. Now if this were the case, couldn't you easily determine this by measuring from the top of the inside edge of the tire to the frame? And who knows, maybe this is the cause of the clunk when coming to a stop with things not being lined up right.

With my dad's truck you can tell the bed is off because it doesn't line up with the cab.

 

I read this thread earlier and went out and checked my truck. Just by eye-balling the rear wheels, I could not notice if either wheel stuck out more than the other. That being said, I will not be grabbing a straight edge, level or ruler, and try and give myself something to get worked up over. It looks ok, by my eye.

I had a 1997 Ranger and noticed while washing it that the left side of the bed was closer to the cab than the right side. I had bought the truck used from a Ford dealer, and convinced myself that the truck had been in an accident and the frame was bent I took the truck back to the dealer, and showed my salesman the "problem." He took me out on the lot and showed me numerous new (1999 model year, I think) Rangers that was set up the same way. None-the-less I had convinced myself that there was a problem with my truck and was not satisfied until I traded it in a year and half later.

The point of my post: do not give yourself a reason to be displeased with your truck.

 

I am getting new Hankook ATM Dynapro 295/70/17's on tuesday and I know that since they will be bigger and taller they will sit closer to the top of the fenderwell and willl be more noticeable since its closer so I have the wheel spacer to take care of that.
