My truck was the same way too. And back when it was lowered, the axle was more noticeably off centered from the edges of the rear fenders. I think that is common. I used to be on a Toyota Tacoma forum and all the 2wd guys had the same issue. As long as you don't get vibrations, you should be fine. I have had the truck for 10 years and there are no issues with it.

I also put 1" spacers on the rear, https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...cers-pics.html, but didn't notice the axle off center.

No vibrations but I also have a wheel hop issue.Will Adjustable pan hard rod fix that as well or also need LCA? and which ones do you suggest?

adj. LCAs only center the rear front to back. Your problem seems to only be left to right and an adj. PHB would definitely do the trick. I got mine from Founders Performance FWIW

Andddd.... after reading more closely, get some LCA relocation brackets with your LCAs to decrease wheel hop

Single adj would be fine...I would spend the money to get an on-car adj one or you're gonna put it on and take it off 20 times before you get it where you want it.

Yup, adj. PHB is needed. You lowered the car, but that panhard is still the same length. That changes the geometry of the triangle essentially. Hypotenuse (PHB) is still the same length, but the base is now longer and the height is lower due to the drop springs. This shifts the axle to the driver side.
