So I just finished my 5" lift install 3" rc kit and 2" shackle and coil spacer with 325/60/18 terra grappler and axis rims but my rear end when looking from the back seems to be around a half inch shifted to the right. I am judging this by the amount the tire sticks past the flare

ya check the u bolts and shackles those really are the only things back there. unless you ordered new rims and they sent you one with the wrong backspacign making it look like its off. just a thought

i would say so yes. I do recommend putting forth the cash for an adjustable one however. But as long as you keep the bolt torqued down this way will not give you any issues.
