Shifted Axle?

I have an 06 4x4 XLT with 285/70R17's and a leveling kit - supercab. I put luverne stainless mudflaps on the other day and when I got done I noticed they did not appear even on each side. After a while I realized the mudflaps are each in the correct spot - but its my passenger side rear tire that sticks out farther than the driver's side rear tire. Is this normal? Are they usually not perfectly even? The passenger side tire sticks out about 1" farther than the fender and the driver's side tire is relatively flush with the fender. Thoughts? Comments?

Loosen the u-bolts and shift it 1/2" to the left.
