i noticed since i put my lift and tires on..that on the left side in the rear, the drivers side sticks out over an inch, and seems to be towed in a little, so that the back part of the tire is swung outward a bit. and the passenger side seems slightly towed the same..but not as severe..(3in rear lift and 31 1060 tires)

also, the drivers side front tires the drivers side tire will be straight and even tho the alignment is to spec i've chekced it plenty of times, the right tire is towed outward..they i've replaced a few thigns liek radius arm mount and linkages here and there which were bent..i figure the sploder was wrecked somehow..and may even have a bent frame.which i hope to not be true..

what could i do about these tries not bein lined up right and all this? im really lost right now..o and the front lift is a 2in coil spacer puck


-thanks chris

I would check all of the suspension parts for visable bends/bad bushings. Definately check the radius arms.
 






when you say you have checked the alignment - you used an aliognment rack? or visual and a string?

get us a printout and post it here
 






the rear cannot be toed in at all. a solid rear axle on an explorer cant be adjusted for alignment
 






an alignment rack
 






if one side is toed in in the rear your axle/axle housing is bent.

you say they look out but then say you had it on a rack ? what were the measurements ? ?

front toe in / caster / camber
rear toe / camber
thrust angle

if it all checks out ok but still "looks" outta whack look to the body having shifted on the frame.
