    Alright so I just bought an 11 Tacoma 4x4 small lift on 33's and when I bought it I told them to do an alignment because it pulled to the right. Still pulled so I brought it back again they aligned it again and it still pulled! They even showed a print out of the alignment specs and they were all good. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I had the same issue a few years ago with my 05 after I put a leveling and and 33's on it. After multiple alignments it also continued to to pull to the right. I'm wondering if this is just a Tacoma issue or something else.

    Its not a Tacoma issue. What are the alignment numbers? How big is the lift?

    Swap your front tires right to left. If it pulls left you have a tire pull. Could be road crown as well.

    Numbers in spec does not always equate to a proper alignment. Too big of a difference in caster/camber can create a pull to the side with the least amount of caster and camber will pull to the side with the most positive.

    It has 1 1/2 inch blocks in the rear, struts up front definitely aren't factory but I'm not sure of the exact size. I swapped the tires and it still pulls. I'll have to get the alignment number from the dealer. I didn't keep the paper they printed out.
