Left front wheel in further than right
I just picked up a 97Ltd, I was pulling a left into my driveway and the driverside wheel rubbed against the wheel well, so to make a long story short I measured both sides and sure enough the driver side is a bout an inch closer than the passenger side to the back of the wheel well. I went over the truck and everything appears to be straight, no crumple marks on the frame or other dented body pannels, no visable sighns of a accident. So my question is can I adjust it to get it back to normal or should I bring it in to an allighnment place.

It does pulls to the left, the tires are the same size all around. I did pull the wheels off and everything appears ok. Someone had mentioned that I could probably adjust it back and forth by cranking the torsion bars, but I dont see any torsion bars on this truck.

Mine is the same way, my left side tires rubs a little bit when turing at flex but the right never does. Mine drives pretty stright and i had the alignment done so i figure that it is normal, i have heard of other people with the same thing.

Well, you shouldn't be rubbing regardless with stock tires. Take to an alignment shop and see what they say. I would recommend going to a front end only shop which deals with alignments only, not a tire shop who happens to do alignments as well. The front end shop guys will be MUCH more knowledgeable.
