    I recently installed a Fox Level 2 kit on my 2017 Tacoma TRD Off Road & put 285/70/17 BFG All Terrains. All new Upper Control Arms and alignment after. but the front passenger side tire seems to be leaning slightly out from the top. But it's ever so slight if it's even leaning at all. Should I take it back to the shop and ask them to check alignment or are there some tests I can do first?

    Do you have the post alignment numbers?

    Unless it's seriously bad you can't really trust your eyes to tell a bad alignment (which it may be).

    On the flip side your alignment might look fine but wear our tires in no time. Same for tire pressure, by the time a tire looks low it's probably at 20 psi.

    Yeah I'm not sure how good standing in front of it and looking does me. & can fire pressure being too high affect how it might lean?

    You can do a pretty decent alignment yourself. You can Google DIY alignment or something similar to check it. It maybe one side has settled more than the other. Tire pressure shouldn't affect the alignment but would make your truck lean if one side is a lot different than the other.

    The front wheels should have some positive camber but both sides should be equal. Positive camber is the angle that would lean the wheel out at the top. If the front tires don't have equal camber then the vehicle should pull to one side or the other.
