I am really late to this but wanted to add that my axle is also off 1/2-5/8 as well. The truck drives fine but it does bug me because it is enough that it catches my eye. My bed was off quite a bit and was fixed at the dealer. 

 

I had called the GM help line and they gave me a case # and then the multiple people that were assigned to my case would never call or be available when I called. It was an obvious issue and they blew me off. They could not even speak with me and give some BS answer. It was so great to be treated that way after purchasing my first ever GM product. I was never treated that way by Dodge/RAM. 

 

While at the dealer I looked at several new and used 1500's and HD's and all 1500's were off center and all of the HD's were even I guess no one has found an answer for what causes this and why GM won't own up and answer.

My solution was to put longer wheel studs on the driver side rear and use a 1/2" hub centric wheel spacer. Now it looks right by eye.
