Definately...that should solve it.

Check the front tires, are they worn on the insides, have you not been rotating the tires. simple checks before you get the alignment... Rotate the tires and go test it, do you get the same shake??? One run with the swapped tires won't ruin them but it will tell you if it is a tire issue.

How long have you had the Leveling Kit installed? I believe all of them recommend you need a balance and alignement after install. So if it was recent then that is definitely (99%) it. If you have had it on for awhile then we may need to look somewhere ekse such as tires themselves like camstng66 said!

start out with an alignment. if you wait too long. your wheel bearings could go bad. i found that out the hard way. always get an alignment after screwin with the suspension set up.

oh yeah. and good luck
