    Hey guys so I have a 2018 Tundra. Put a 3 inch Rough Country level on the front and ever since have had issues. To get it on was a beast and as so jacked up a cv axle that needed replacement on the left side. Anyway since I put on the level my truck has pulled to the right in 2WD, not super horrendously but a decent amount. Then when I kick it in 4WD it yanks it to the right. If I let go of the wheel I’m in the other lane almost instantly. The cv axle I replaced was on the left side so should have no effect on that side. Got it realigned multiple times with no solution.. I was thinking possibly the right cv is bad and causing it to veer right even worse once kicked into 4WD. Any suggestions? I’ve read a few things about alignment and toe, camber, and caster having to be adjusted not just to the green but to specific numbers. My tire is wearing on that side on the outside and from what it seems like the tire is not straight up and down but has a slight outward angle on top and slightly angled in at the bottom to it. Any help would be appreciated!

    If your tire is wearing uneven and you can visibly see the tire at an angle, then the alignment is definitely not correct. Also, there may be some degree of torque steering when engaged in 4wd vs 2wd which could exacerbate the issue your alignment is causing, don't forget 4wd doesn't lock the differentials, so only one wheel (likely the right) is being driven by the front diff until the auto lsd kicks in (if it even applies to the front). Go to a different shop for an alignment, then get your money back for all the other failed attempts at the other shop.

    I’m taking it somewhere else for alignment, thank you for the input. We’ll start there and hopefully that fixes it. And I do need my money back lol. Thanks man!

    Rotate the tires form the front to the rear. You may have a bad tire and you are experiencing radial pull.
