    How does it look underneath rust wise? Take some pics if you can and maybe the people here can pinpoint the problem.

    Most Tundras have the rear shifted to the passenger side for some reason. Even my 21.

    That's pretty clean underneath for a 2008. When you had the last alignment done, did they say why they couldn't get it in specs?

    They didn't say that. Just there was no way to adjust rearend & that they didn't know why it was shifted

    The underneath looks like it was recently painted. Did you check the history of the truck for collision, crash. Was the frame replaced due to rust, damage from accident?
    Probably take it to a pro body shop to determine if the frame is straight, square. You can't really make the body of the bed as a reference point as those can be shifted a bit imo.I remember on my previous Tundra, I loosened the bed bolts and shifted the bed to align it to the cab. Worked.That was a 2007 Tundra reg cab 4x2.
