    A little update

    After I installed the lift, I drove it for 3 weekends(I drive a company vehicle all week) with a back yard alignment and no issues. Go today to get it aligned. Alignment was fairly quick. After receiving the keys and paper work back my findings were....
    My camber was perfect so no adjustments were made. My caster was fine, a little low but was within specs. Toe was off and steering wheel was off. They adjusted the toe and straightened the steering wheel.

    When leaving I notice the steering wheel went from being slightly off to the right to now slightly off to the left. Not even a mile down the road I went to brake and felt the ABS engage for no reason. Then my traction light came on and stayed on. Along with an alert saying my trailer brake control was having problems to see the dealer. Also along with precollosion sensor alert being on.

    I whipped around and headed right back to the shop to take immediate advantage of their 30 day warranty. Told the manager what was going on. I must note he knew his stuff as he has a truck with a 6" lift as well(not a tundra but didnt judge him face to face....cough Ford owner cough...) he said he would get it taken care of. Came back 20 min later to tell me it was the steering sensor.

    When they made everything correct against my backyard alignment it threw the steering sensor all kinds of crazy. They readjusted it and double checked their numbers along with hooking it up and resetting all the codes.

    I then hopped on the interstate and sent 15 miles with no issues. Shopped and headed 20 miles on the interstate to pick up my daughter. Then drove 10 miles of backroads. Then 15 miles of backroads to drop the kids off at friends. Then 15 miles back home to pick up my stock wheels and tires. Then 25 miles on interstate to sell wheels and tires. Then 25 miles back to the house. All while not throwing any more alerts or warnings!!!!

    If it bothers you and you don't like it, take it back. But, if it doesn't bug you, don't bother..... It may get worse.

    No helpful answer....but just had to say your truck is sick. I definitely have to bump up from my 4in to 6in.
