Did the previous owner remove the leaf spring hangers or move the spring perches on the axle? There isnt much alignment on the rear that is possible. The front you can adjust caster with shims on the leaf springs and toe in and thats about it

Thanks,Is diffilcult to tell!!But left tire is more forward than the right tire.It does not go to side to side while driving.I just notice a crack on the right leaf support bracket.

Both shackle angles on either side should be the same angle.

How to align rear axle

do your own alignment

And please, ignore my dumb comments from previously. I was super clueless then.

Rear axle needs to be centered or aligned with specified reference points and needs to be parallel with front wheels. I’ve seen many trucks where the rear axle was off and the truck crabs down the road. Only other possible adjustment would be the angle of the input but that would only change if someone did an SOA conversion or modified the spring perches.
