^ I'd start here. You'd be surprised how much 'adjustment' there is in the U-Bolts/trailing arms to just getting the rearend square in the frame. If that is all good, I'd look at making sure the bed is right. It's possible things moved around on you or the rear thrust alignment got off when you did the rear suspension work - I assume you unbolted the u bolts to install the lower shock relocator brackets? Or maybe it was off before and now the bed is closer to the tire and you notice it now? Just thoughts.
