Default Axle shifted an 1" 1/2 to the drivers side????

Any have any information as to how this happened?

I put my 35's on the other day, and since they've been on, I've noticed a strange noise.

Well, curiousity got the best of me and I found that the rear passenger tires is rubbing up against the rear upper control arm.

After further invesigating, we found that my axle is about a full inch to the left...

Anyone know how to fix this problem? or how this happened????
Thanks for any advice given..

we need more info:

are you lifted? How high?
do you have an adj track bar? Track bar bracket?
factory or aftermarket wheels? Backspacing? Wheel spacers? Tire width?
in a accident before?

What's your back spacing on your rims and what lift are you running? Do you have a rear track bar bracket or a adj. Rear track bar?

Since your sticking with stock wheels you will need to invest in 1.5" spidertrax wheel spacers and prob get a rear adj. Track bar
