    After months of research and indecisiveness on level vs lift, I went with the pro comp 3/1 level. My ride quality is definitely different but not in a bad way. Alignment was done at the installer shop. On day 1 it's always had a right pull, but soon after the right pull has gotten worse or I have just paid more attention. Its been 3 weeks now. So I returned to same shop. Alignment completed again, zero progress. Shop's rationale??? Radial pull, bad tire guesstimate. Come to find out, he doesnt use machine to do alignment but said he "realigned it manually" the best he could?!? He said he never spent this much time on a tundra and not be able to fix. He said no issues with control arms and kept guessing it was tire Left shop frustrated and confused. This is my 1st truck where I put a kit on and never experienced this. Again has a terrible right pull and its pretty unsafe, at 2-3 1 thousand i drift from passing lane to right emergency lane.Took it to
    TIRE PLUS, no go, will only do factory settings, then on to TIRE KINGDOM, free test, used to doing lifts they say. All numbers in the green except the TOE right front is in the red. Kid explained shouldnt cause a bad pull, just a slight pull. So I told him swap front tires with each other, zero effect.

    Help please....

    Go back and tell that kid to fix the toe. If it’s off then it will cause it to pull. He was probably just being lazy.

    Went to new shop, Suntire, their test also showed bad toe, right.

    Still, bad right pull exactly same as before.
    Here are the numbers...

    Here are my numbers. I have a 3/1 kit and mine drives as straight as it did before the level.

    What does grey represent? Do I view grey or green results?

    The rear. Although, now looking at your numbers in your rear.. your rear looks to be pretty far off compared to mine.

    I think that positive toe on your left rear could definitely be pushing your truck to the right

    Don't adjust by the color. Need to adjust by the number. There is no adjustment to the rear. Order of priority is: toe, camber and then caster. In our truck, adjustment on camber and caster affects each other. The toe is independently adjustable from camber and caster. Adjust your camber closer to zero or slightly on the negative side but within spec. Try to get your toe close to zero or no more than .10deg. Let the caster go where it goes while maintaining the toe and camber specs as stated. Caster helps steer to center, especially at higher speed, but has zero or negligible effect on tire wear.
