There is no adjustment for anything in the rear and is not alignable.

I realize that but he said that one side of the axle was ahead of the other. I did change leafs but they are pinned to fit everything together correctly

uhm...I think your mechanic is mistaken.

Am I correct to assume that a lift in the rear just replaces the leafs with more leafs? It would be just about impossible to have the rear axle out of alignment. On Jeeps with rear coils and control arms and all that in the rear, it happens, but if you lift both sides evenly, that just sounds crazy.

If the leafs centering pin is screwed up, I could see this. But I would think one side would be out one way and the other side would be out the opposite direction.

what he really meant was the thrust angle was off and not the rear camber.when the vehicle is aligned,the machine compensates for thrust angle
to set clear vision-another words the steering wheel straight.does it drive straight?can you tell by looking from rear that this angle is off?
