4/6 drop done. Now problem

It could be a case of the chevy lean causing your problem. My passenger side tire use to stick out more than the driver side when I had a noticable 3/4" lean to the driver side, even more with a full tank of gas. I put a belltech spring spacer on the front drivers side and now both rear tires are centered under the bed

Me too DJM 4/6 truck. Check your measurements from the center of the wheel hub to the top of the wheel arch all the way around and see if it's leaning ( I saw pics of your truck in another thread and it looks like a noticible lean). If it is leaning put a jack under the frame rail on the drivers side somewhere near the trans crossmember (weight centered front to back) and lift the drivers side until the measurements match the passenger side. Take a step back and see if the passenger tire is still sticking out more than the driver's side. Belltech spring isolator spacer fixed this problem on my truck.

Ah ok, I seen ppl having problems with the leaning on drop springs but never on drop lca and stock springs. I will take some measurements this weekend when I get back in town and try to jack up either side to see if it makes a difference. Is it generally the drivers side that leans with the chevy lean due to the fuel tank being on that side? Thanks for the help!
Your welcome, I hope this solves your problem

also check your leaf springs. the smallest one on the very bottom. I had this same problem on my 3/5 drop and both of the lower springs had shifted causing the rear to be out of alignment. i loosened both sides and banged the springs into place and it lined up after.
