Front Axle shift

Ok I have a 2004 F350 CC SRW. It has a Add-a-leaf leveling kit the previous owner added to it everything else is stock. Ive been noticeing that the front axle is sticking out a bit more on the drivers side. At first I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. but then I noticed things like the drivers side door getting road splash on it and not the passengers side. The best I can see its sticking about a 1/2"-3/4" out more on the drivers side. Anyone know whats causeing this? or a way to fix it?
Thanks

When he lifted the front, he probably didn't relocate the track bar, or did it incorrectly. Most lift kits either come with some kind of new bracket or new bar itself to make up the difference and keep the front axle centered. If your track bar is adjustable, given that the axle is located too far to the left, you would need to lengthen the bar to bring the axle back under the truck. Otherwise, you can call around to some of the lift kit manufacturers to see if they have something that might work for your truck.
