Leveling kit issue
Dealer installed ready lift 2.25" leveling kit on my truck as promised when I bought it. They didn't do an alignment on it after (getting one in a couple hours). But they told me they had to disconnect lower control arm to install spacer and alignment is probably out. Drove it home last night and Doesn't drive the best. Steering wheel is crooked and kind of drags at slow speeds (like your in 4x4) and slight humming noise from front end at slow speeds. Anybody have this issue after a leveling kit installed before getting an alignment? 2015 4x4
No, While the alignment needs done as the front end does change it isn't all that noticeable other than the handling may feel a little mushy from the toe being out.
Sound and steering wheel shouldn't have changed.

I had this exact issue. They need to align it but that is not the main problem. You need to take it back to the dealership ASAP. That humming noise is your IWE Acuator (System which engages 4x4). Essentially, you are stuck in 4x4 but only on one side of the truck. Engage 4x4 and the noise should go away. The dealership did not follow the instructions when installing the kit. You have to hold vacuum on the IWE system while installing the kit or the actuator can break. Try not to drive at high speeds like this if possible. It won't immediately damage anything, but will cause damage over time. On my truck, they replaced the drivers side IWE System and that fixed it for a couple days. Then the passenger side broke a couple days later. They replaced it, and I haven't had another issue with it.
