Rear axle question

What would cause your rear end to be off set? The rear end on my rig sits an inch or two to the right (passenger side). My truck has a puppy walk and I need to know how to fix this. Any ideas?

I would look for bent or damaged leaf springs and mounting points (shackles).

Remove the rivets and replace with Grade 8 bolts.
