    3" Rough Country Leveling Kit.
    Hi guys and girls...

    I am new here so sorry if my post looks cruddy!

    It has been maybe 6 months now with my leveling kit installed. Rough Country 3". Ever since having it installed I have had a pretty hard pull to the right. (I understand vehicles pull to the right after like a football fields length). It pulls to the right about 5 seconds after even takeoff. Even while driving on roads and freeways it just loves to go to the right...

    SO here is my question. Is there a way to take it back to the shop and have them swap the left leveling kit with the right leveling kit? For instance just swap the two front blocks? I can't really explain.. lol but I hope that made sense.

    I want to see if they swap the sides if it will then pull to the left? Like a defective leveling block on the right side. If it pulls left after the switch then...BAM I know it is a bad leveling kit. Or if not..then I know it is something entirely different..

    Did you have an alignment done after the level?

    You need an alignment especially after lifting the vehicle.

    You need an alignment. Check your toe. Should be close to zero. I don’t know the exact spec.

    Yes so the 4x4 shop did an alignment..and I asked them why it still pulls to the right. They said that everything is in the crown..alignment is aligned correctly. Maybe your truck just pulls more than others.. I was like uhhh what? That doesn't seem right. The shop manager said they did everything they could and took it out multiple times to try and correct the issue.

    I even took it to Toyota and they tried what they could, said it was the leveling kit giving the issue.

    I would try a different alignment shop first. Some don't really know what they're doing with a lifted vehicle, though if a 4x4 shop can't get it right that would surprise me

    Keep in mind, if you don’t get a whole new front suspension (UCAs, LCAs, etc.) there can only be so much done because the stock suspension can only be adjusted so much

    So I did have Toyota do a rotation and it still pulls. I also just took it to Les Schwabb yesterday and they Aligned it BUT literally 30 minutes later..back to pulling to the right

    Different shop than I was thinking of. Anchovy is right though, if you lifted 3" without getting new upper control arms you might not be able to get a proper alignment until you do. That's why they're usually recommended for lifts that high
