You never know, I guess.
Hello
Great to hear! That you are satisfied with our products. Going off of the picture that you have to offer. They look like a weld on bracket (seeing how there is now shock mount bracket).And if by chance they were installed incorrectly then yes it would pivot your rear either way.
Take it easy

Where does this bracket "anchor" itself?

Our bolt on relocation bracket uses the shock mount and I do not see this in your picture.

That's what he's missing!! I knew it was something but couldn't put my finger on it. Looks like they gave him the weld in brackets instead.

In which case the brackets have pivoted "forward" as indicated by the gap between the relocation bracket and the factory bracket on the axle housing. This caused the change in the gap between the tires and fenders.

Yup, so what he needs to do is either get new brackets, or line up the rear and weld them.

edit: I have the same brand brackets, but mine have the bracket that connects to the shock. Hopefully you can work something out with them.

Hello
Yes! There is quite a difference in the two relocation brackets. Below is a link to show you what bracket on the weld on style keep them from shifting.

Notice how the bracket is in between the shock and mounting location on the rear end.

Notice how there is a stitch weld on top of the bracket.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad
