Default Braking problem after leveling kit

So i got a autopring 1.5 leveling installed on thursday, got alingment at the dealer friday. After i left the dealer the steering wheel was a little off, so took it back and they got it right, now if im doing like 60mph and step on the brakes hard the truck pulls to the right almost taking me out if my lane. Any ideas?.

Sounds like it's still not right so I'd take it back. Maybe they pinched a brake line or something? Who knows.

The last guy whom had an issue with his brakes after a level install, the installer had taken his pads off and installed them improperly. His wheels locked. At first it sounded like a twisted or pinched brake line. In your case they messed something up and you need to return to see if they can find their mistakes, or take it to Ford dealer.

Also an alignment is required after level, was this done, and done properly?
