Post Offset Front Axle
Well, I'm not looking forward to the answer, but...I noticed after getting the front tires on my bronco that the driver's side tire extends beyond the fender like 2 inches while the passenger side tire sticks out from under the fender very little or not at all. I assume this can't be good. Might some of this be corrected when I replace C-bushings and do an allignment, or am I just grasping at straws? Thoughts?

You need an adjustable trac bar, and or trac bar drop or riser bracket

Yup. How much lift are you running? Your angles look pretty good, I'd start with an adjustable trac bar.

x3 on the adjustable track bar. You length it and it pushes the axle to back under center.

The track bar controls your left to right placement of the axle. It's connected to the drivers side frame and runs down to the passenger side of the axle.

Agreed on the track bar - I highly recommend the axle riser bracket instead of the frame attached drop bracket. I could tell you why but they say a picture is worth 1000 words.... (see the tread for what happened to Drew's when his track bar drop bracket tore off, and the subsequent repairs.
