2018 F150 leveling kit steering wondering issue
#13
Thanks!
Thanks Aliass24 for your specs. Took it back and told them the specs you recommended and it is better. Still not the way it was prior to the leveling kit but much better so thank you!

I did a lift and level on my last 2 trucks and probably 10 alignments with a lot of trial and error to figure out what specs worked and what didn't, so if I ever need to go I provide my own specs. I will agree that its not as good as stock but its pretty close and that's with 35's. I'm glad it worked out for ya.

UPDATE********So after getting it aligned several times I still was not happy with how the truck drove....as another forum member said, drove like a worn out Dodge. Anyway, I took it to a Ford dealership that frequently lifts trucks and sells lifted vehicles at Campbell Ford in Niles, MI. They had it for a short period of time and already had it fixed. The problem was the computer needed to be calibrated for the height difference then realigned (not sure all of the technical information in the calibration but was told it effects the points on the steering on newer F150's) With the dealership it cost me about 155.00. Prior to this fix, I took it to another Ford dealership where they could not figure out what needed to be done and even the manager of the service department has the same issue with his F150 after a leveling kit. In all if you have any questions I recommend Campbell Ford in Niles, MI....my truck drives the way it should again.

Hmmm, mine wonders a bit too, but it did it before the leveling kit. It's like there is a dead spot in the steering when on-centre. Not sure if that's just the electric power steering or what. My fathers 2018 is the same, he is bone stock.
