take it to an alignment shop and get it professional adjusted. or SAS. the TTB front end is not recomended for that big of a lift. but hey, do you have any pictures of your truck? i'd like to see what that looks like with 35s.

Unless you have a alignment machine, you will always be off if you do it yourself.

What kit did you get? Sounds like you need the drop brackets for the I beams. Get those put on and it should straighten out your problem.

you can do it yourself. all they do is drop down your i beams in the front. anything 4" and about is recommended for drop down brakets though. im sure you have them on there. im guessing you got the lift installed by someone else?


but i didnt know rough country made a kit. i thought it was all superlift that was 8". eh, learn somethin new everyday.
