    Recently installed a lift on all four corners with new UCA. Everything works great no vibes or anything except when accelerating in 4hi my truck pulls to the right. Nothing crazy just very noticeable. Drives completely straight when cruising and stopping. Check wheels for play at this joints and nothing crazy seen. My only guess at this point is that the ~1/2 inch difference in lift in the front is cause the cause for the pull.

    Any ideas or people with similar experience?

    But you’re pulling to the right and the taco lean is drivers side or to the left. So I would think if anything you would pull left. I doubt that’s what’s causing it, maybe check for binding on the cvs on the passenger side.

    That is probably what it is. Although eye balling it it doesn't look bad it is very slightly more angled than the driver side.

    Using it more on loose dirt it is unnoticeable.

    Something I will address at some point. Plan on adding more weight to the passenger side and letting it settle to see where she sits.

    Alignment looks good from what I can tell, all green.

    What UCAs are you using? Castor seems low for aftermarket UCAs. You also have more castor on the passenger side which could cause a pull.

    Should have kept caster at the Pre numbers 3.0 + is ideal when lifted :thumbsup:

    Looks like they aligned to factory specs.

    Old thread sorry, but I was just in the shower thinking this is why my truck pulls to the right the lean spacer. Only thing I could think of because my alignment was dead on. Did you ever pull the spacer out and see if that changed anything?

    The lean spacer is not causing the pull.
