Budget boost axle offset

I give. I’m not sure what it is. It seems like the front is floating a bit. It drives great but my measurements are not the same as before in the front. I’m not a great mechanic but I’m not afraid to tear it apart as long as I know what I’m looking for, which in this case I do not!

Those end links definitely tell the story. Do the measurements change if you turn the steering side to side while not moving? Have someone in the cab and turn the steering lock to lock and see if you can observe movement. Maybe your track bar bushings are shot. Then again, maybe it is bent. Most definitely noticable shift in the springs.
For thought:
Would the fact that whomever did the BB didn't loosen up the track bar cause this? Similiar to control arms bushing bind effecting the lift after install due to not torquing them up with it on it's own weight? Just spit balling here.

I would do the dry steering test to check for movement first. The track bar frame end looks pushed over to me. Then you can loosen both front and back, bounce around on all 4 corners. Then retorque. Worth a shot. The video below is more about death wobble, but shows you how too.
It’s not going to hurt to try. Just loosen it at the axle side enough for bushing to unbind if bound and retorque to 55ft/lbs. if you decide to loosen at frame too, retorque to 110 ft/lbs
