Default Leveling kit

I have a 2” leveling kit in the front of my truck and I’m struggling to decide if I have bump steer or I need an alignment. I have stock wheels with some AT tires but still stock sized looking for advice on what to do

U should 100% have gotten an alignment asap. When did you get the level? And it was never realigned?

I bought the truck used from a Ford dealer with the level on it and had asked them to do an alignment before purchase they claim they did but it still doesn’t feel right

when driving on even the slightest tilt in the road the steering wheel automatically wants to go that way on flat roads it’s not a thing at all I feel myself fighting the steering wheel a decent amount when driving

Take it to an alignment shop or suspension shop -inform them of what you are there for then pick it up once it has been corrected.

Any vehicle I have driven will follow the road, if it is angled as you say.
You will know it isn't right thought if any other vehicle before this never felt that way.

I do not believe that if the vehicle pulls to the left when the road is cambered to the left is called bump steer.

What year and is it 2x4 or 4x4 truck.
