    Well when your fighting a vehicle that keeps wanting to wander to the right. And people of all ages don’t know how to stay in their lanes as it is. I don’t want to join in that group unwillingly

    Bigger wider wheels will wander more. But that is not your issue. You need a quality new UCA or take the truck back and have the spacers removed

    The Dirty T ( ^_^)_且
    The thing is that it's not a new Tundra, it's a new Tundra that has been modified from stock, probably by a dealer/outside shop that knows nothing about how to do it properly. My guess is that they slipped a cheap spacer lift on it, didn't do a diff drop or UCAs, and threw it on the lot because it looked cool and they knew somebody would buy it because it looked cool.
    Dealerships usually know nothing about modifying a vehicle the proper way and just do it the easiest way to get that first impression factor and sell a vehicle at a greatly increased price. Take it back, make them do it properly or swap you for a stock Tundra. I personally am way past modifying my truck just to "look cool" as it usually decreases the drivability and reliability. So, to sum up, have it done the right way or stick to stock

    :notsure: I suppose.... But I'm also one to doublecheck my ~$45K purchase too. For all I know they could have scratched my paint during the detailing or transport.

    Although that’s a fancy trd sway bar.

    Yeah that looks like a 3 inches. You will be maxed out on your adjustability. So... to resolve you either remove the lift, or buy some upper control arms. The dealership is obviously going to keep screwing it up. Find a good independent shop to do the alignment.

    Just have them remove the spacer and do the lift the better way with coilovers and shackles

    So obviously at this point. I can’t trust the dealer anymore. Would the place that did the lift. Fix this without cost? Considering. It’s in their error possibly

    Yup. Cheapest lift possible. Spacers on top and stock UCA. I suppose those shocks can handle the spacers on top for a while. I did spacers on mine and my shocks died after 10k miles. I ended up swapping out my suspension with quality lift shocks and got rid of the spacers. For now, you most likely need the UCA or have the dealer put it back to stock. Gonna cost you $500-$1100 installed depending on which UCA you go with.

    No it's the dealer that has to pay the sublet location to remove the item from the truck but they should do that at no charge but unfortunately it has to go thru the dealer

    People are being dramatic. It’s not a big deal. Find a great alignment shop and they should get it fixed and you’ll just be out the cost of alignment and you can move on. It’s better to get upper control arms and get everything perfect but you won’t have to and you can get it close.

    Zero worries. Every answer here is or will be helpful. Every answer so far is more accurate information than your dealer has given you yet and it’s been twenty minutes on the forum versus days with the dealer.
    We will get your lemon fixed. The answer is already here. Upper Control Arms are necessary at three inches on the Tundra.

    Alot of them
    That looks like the ReadyLift kit. Spacers kits are common and good for onroad use, but don't do any type of heavy offroading with them. They are commonly purchased for leveling and clearance for bigger tires. I currently have the Readylift in mine. Maybe Santa will get me some coilovers and shackles.

    I appreciate the help from everyone so far. I’m just worried that the dealership won’t fix this because they will keep playing dumb saying it’s the alignment. When y’all have pointed out that it’s the UCA’s. Why would the dealership pay more money when they already have me in contract with all my money lol

    I respectfully disagree with you here. Nobody is being dramatic just helpful. At 3 inches, he will need UCAs, no way around it. You might get close but you’ll still have issues with alignment and uneven tire wear.
