Default Front wobble after 2 inch level kit installed

Can't seem to find an answer via search so thought I would throw it out to the group. I installed a 2 leveling kit last night on my truck. Fairly straight forward job but once I took it for a short test drive it began to wobble around 25-30 mph. I turned around and came back home to retorque and check everything which all was fine. Is there something electronically that could be causing this. I didn't disconnect the battery during the install but didn't see that as a requirement in the install video.

Will an alignment solve this? My truck is a 2017 Platinum 4WD with 2800 miles.

Thanks

An alignment would be my first stop no matter if I had wobble or not....

If it's installed correctly (not sure how it couldn't be), and everything is torqued down, then I'd bet you just need an alignment. You'd be surprised how much of a difference it can make.

Alignment is definitely on tap. Hopeful to be able to drive there faster than 25 mph. I'm out in the country.

I hope you will find something simple as a cause. Like a wheel alignment.

But, during a level install, the battery or the EPAS connector needs to be disconnected. This is to protect the EPAS from arcing when banging on the ball joints to remove them or other similar shocks.
Hopefully it's not that.
