Drivers side leaf spring shifted
Right rear spring. You can see the last spring in the pack has shifted outwards.

Left rear spring, all the springs are lined up with each other.

I just got back from my Myrtle Beach trip towing our fifth wheel 1400 miles round trip. I have to say that my 2018 F350 was an absolute pleasure to drive. My towing experience with this truck compared to my 2008 F350 is a much nicer towing experience.
Yesterday I noticed the right rear leaf spring appears to have shifted and was wondering if anyone has seen this before.

Others will give you a better answer but It may be normal. Both of mine do that. One a little more than the other. I went to the dealer to compare to the trucks on the lot and they appear to be similar. One side of mine sticks out a bit more. I changed my block when I lifted it so that may have affected it. When I go in for first oil change I will have them look at it.

It's fairly normal. Your other leaf springs have retainers on them to keep them from doing this. The overload will move some, but the U-bolts will keep it from getting too far out of whack. Smack it back in place with a hammer if it bothers you.
