    procomp leveling kit,77series k&n cause it looks cool i guess
    before i installed a pro comp leveling kit on my 06 taco 2.7L to add lift everything was fine but now a few months later my steering wheel shakes i got the tires aligned since i had put new tires on too. also the shaking starts at low speeds i was told that my tie rod ends are bad but i actually lifted my truck at home and the wheels where solid couldn't move them when i tried moving them by hand and another shop told me that my shocks are bad but they work fine and they aren't bleeding or anything does anyone know of anything that may help me fix this??

    You answered your own question. Get rid of the lift.

    oh well actually it was fine after the lift tho it started happening a few months after i put it on the ting that has me worried is that the passenger side I've noticed wears the outside of the tires fast lol at this point i think I'm going to just going to take it to mex lol I'm itching for a new taco lol

    see if your wheels are balanced right, I knocked some weights off one of my front wheels and my steering wheel was shaking like crazy, got them balanced and all the shake was gone

    I see your stealth editing as before you stated:

    So as stated in the Original post wasn't true it didn't start shaking until a few months later. And add now that the passenger side tire is wearing rapidly on the outside edge of the tire. Sounds more like an alignment issue or a bearing issue with the passenger side front axle.

    A poor balance will ware tires. I would have the tires balanced then try it if you still have a shake swap front to rear.
