Front axle not centered
Was driving through a Ford lot today and stopped and looked at the two F350s they had in the lot. I noticed on both trucks the front axle was shorted to the drivers side slightly. I didn't measure them but it was enough that I could tell when looking at the truck from the front. Is this normal or is something going on with these two trucks? I thought the access would only get off center if you lifted the front and stuck with the factory trac bar.

There's a range of front springs available in SDs. They are different heights. Different heights = different amount of axle offset. It's just how the geometry of a solid front axle suspension with a track bar setup works.
Perfectly normal.
