Not sure one can swing a pair of 20" tires with the wheels still on the ground unless you have a pair of alignment plates underneath. If the axle is jacked up and the wheels are in the air, then the problem may not be evident as you have transferred the weight away from the kingpin normally under load to the kingpin that normally does not carry a load.
