2019 Tacoma wanders on hwy speeds after Bilstein leveling kit and upgrading wheels and tires.

Hey guys and gals,

New to the forum!

A bit of background on my issue. About a month ago, I had 4WP install Bilstein B8 5100s on the front with the OEM coil swap. They of course did an alignment but the truck started pulling to the right, which wasn’t happening before, its not bad but it does pull to the right if I let go of the steering wheel. I took it back and they said it was wear on my right tires because the alignment had been off before I took it to them.
I decided I wanted new wheels and tires anyway so I got rid of the 265/75/16 tires and wheels that were on there for some 17” Icon wheels on 285/70/17s K02s…..I also added the Bilskey 5100s to the rear of the truck because of course, why not. Now, I not only still have the pull to the right, but now the truck wanders at highway speeds and I get some bump steer as well. I took it back to them but they said that it was “just how 3rd Gen Tacomas with bigger tires and a lift will drive”. And they never re-did an alignment when I upgraded wheels and tires, they actually told me it didn’t need it. To me that is not a satisfactory answer. There has to be something I can do without completely changing out my entire Bilstein kit. I am willing to spend a bit more money on getting the issue resolved, but what do you guys suggest?

I’ve read on a coupe threads here changing the UCA’s for after market, but I mentioned that to the guy at 4WP and he said It would not help the issue.

My idea was to take it to a shop that works on trucks and 4wd vehicles for an alignment, but would it help the issue upgrading the UCAs?

Thanks in advance guys, and if this is an issue that has been beat to death, let me know.

You need to search for 'alignment after lift' in the 3rd gen forum.
Your lift changed the front end geometry. Thinking everything will be the same and no alignment is necessary would be wrong IMO.
