I installed the rough country levelling kit had my truck into the shop for an alignment and had my inner an outer tire rod ends replaced on the passenger side. Just got the truck back today and it is pulling slightly right. My steering wheel straight, I am pulling slightly right. I’m not sure if this is an alignment issue from the shop.

Did they provide you with a before & after chart/report with all the specs? If so, post it in the thread and folks here will let you know if it’s good, bad, or indifferent.

If no chart/report, no bueno.

I had the RC 2.5 level installed on my ‘19 Ranger around 26k miles. No problems at all for the alignment.

I have over 155k miles now. Still going good except for the shocks are probably worn out.

I would take it back to the alignment shop. It shouldn't pull. The 2.5" kits don't cause issues. Sounds like they didn't get it back to spec. I have a 3.5" kit on my truck and I was able to get it to spec.

Yep, had the same issue with the same RC kit… For me, the problem ended up being the shop that installed the kit, they ordered the wrong parts. My truck has steel steering knuckles, they installed control arms made for aluminum knuckles. After constant alignment issues, several trips back that shop, a couple trips to a different shop, and 10+ phone calls with Rough Country reps, I finally figured it out.

Why was the drivers side not replaced also, better to do in pairs?
