Truck pulling to left after lift

Just installed a 3in front and 2in rear leveling kit on my Tacoma and had it aligned twice by Firestone and still pulls to the right also when braking at low speed it does a little shiver before coming to a complete stop.

 

you need upper control arms.

 

Gonna need ucas as mentioned above. The caster number is horrible!!!!

 

Can you elaborate on that?

 

Even with stock arms you should be able to get at least 2.5 degrees of caster, dem techs just lazy as shit.

 

all they did was a toe and go.

After you lift your truck a certain amount in the front you need aftermarket upper control arms to get the caster in spec.

 

You really think he can get 2.5 out of stock with a 3 inch lift?

 

yes. ive done it dozens of times.

 

What are the negative effects if I leave the caster as is?

 

This. I recently had an alignment shop tell me that you couldn't "adjust caster on these trucks without aftermarket parts" and then tried to sell me on SPCs. Went to another shop with a competent alignment tech, got it taken care of, and got a refund from the first shop.

 

They probably won’t be able to. But normally you can get into the green but on the lower end of spec. With the lift and larger tires you’ll want it at the higher end and even 3 or 3.5 is great. I personally run 4* caster. But you’ll need aftermarket ucas to obtain those numbers.

 

Don't leave it like that. If you run into a road with a ton of road crown, your truck will track all over the place. Shame on them for even calling that an alignment. I would want my money back.

 

it will drive crappy, wander on the road etc

 

Alignment looks horrible. UCA’s will help 0 camber 3 - 4 caster 0 toe that’s what uppers will get you

 

Excessive wear and tear on your tires + suspension.

You need UCA’s and maybe try a different shop for your next alignment.

 

At least bring it somewhere to get the caster in spec. My truck is at 1.6 caster on each side and it tracks perfectly. No wander, no pull.

 

From the looks of it, they didn’t even try to set caster. Adjusted toe and sent ya down the road. Idiots!!!

 

Yup that’s Firestone for you! Already called to get a refund and filing claim with my bank

 

I agree seems unlikely

 

how much did they charge you for that alignment?
