Default Post Leveling Kit

Got my 2.5" leveling kit and tires on today. Still rides amazing, although I sort of regret getting the open country mts. I had the truck realigned also after the leveling was complete. Driving it back home on the interstate and it has the slightest pull to the right and the steering wheel is the smallest bit off center. I'm thinking the alignment is a little bit off still? Anyone have any thoughts?

Thats definitely an issue with the alignment. Take it back and tell them to fix it.
Got any pics?

That's what I figured it had to be. It's not a bad pull but it's a brand new truck. Less than 200 miles it needs to be right. And a few, here they come

Looks great! What levelling kit did you go with. I'm getting my 2015 Lariat this week and I'm starting to look at lifts/levelling kits. On my 2014 FX4 i put a 2" levelling kit and turning at full lock the CV joints have binding issues and clicking noises. Don't want to end up with the same issues on this one.

Why do you regret getting the MTs? Other than alignment issue, anything else you don't like?

Had mine installed yesterday as well and also had it aligned and have no pull defiantly have them check it, sounds like it's still a little off.

It's a rough country 2.5". I had a 3" on my 04 and it had some extreme angles on the joints but I never had a problem with it. I crawled under to look at the angles on this and they are virtually the same as stock, they look nothing like my old truck. I was worried about the angles before but after seeing it I have 0 worries about them. Also those are 315/60/20 and I don't have a single bit of rubing.

I may just not be used to them yet but they for sure have a hum when you get up to speed. They are great tires though they absorb bumps fantasticly. Besides that I love the truck and the leveling kit is awesome since it still rides almost like stock.
