Lifted truck pulling to the Left

[dzemboc7]

I can't win, Had issues when I got my truck in Feb from dealership. Had my truck lifted a rough country 6 inch lift over the weekend. its a 2016 Silverado 1500 with 1500 miles on it. Also got some 35s and new rims. Looks nice. However got it on the highway yesterday and noticed it was pulling to the left. My steering wheel does not move but the truck pulls left. Now I had a alignment digital done prior, tire pressure was also good. Brought it back and they tried swapping tires to see if it was a bad tire. Also said alignment was out of wack which I don't get if It was literally done the day before. I picked it back up today, can't really notice it but then again didn't go on the highway. I was told that the alignment was off a little bit but it will pull due to the tires size and curve on the road. It seems odd to me as most road crown in the middle so if anything it should pull right.I'm just hoping they didn't screw something up that later on down the road damages my truck more. Any thing I can check if I go under it. Anyone had this issue before ?

I don't know on your specific application ( lift, tires) but even if the alignment is off by a smidge you'll notice it. I'm assuming it's the toe they fixed. Did u get a print out of before and after of alignment specs?

.02 May sound crazy, I've often noticed the car in front with a solo driver slightly tilted lower on the driver's side.

 

Nowadays with engines getting lighter and people getting heavier driver's weight might be a factor, especially with the change in geometry and dampening in a lifted suspension. Wouldn't matter much if you always have someone riding shotgun and fairly close to the driver's weight. But if one routinely drives solo and around 200+lbs. might be a good idea to align the vehicle with either the driver sitting or an equivalent weight of sandbags in the driver's seat.

Newly lifted trucks always settle, usually around 1" or so. After the settling the alignment could very well be off.

 

Also lifted trucks (due to bigger tires) tend to follow the curvature of the road, so if the road was slopes down to the left that's where the truck will track.....

Digital smigital. Find a flat parking lot, jack the front, spin the tires and put a fine line on each with a nail or pencil, lower roll forward at least 2 lengths, have a friend help with a tape measure front and back of tire lines. Should be 1/16-1/8" toe-in. Large tires...closer to 1/8". Camber and caster you're going to have to trust unless you want to make/buy some tools.

Just pointing out it could also be a tire with issues. I had my 1.75" level kit installed, got my alignment done 2 times and it was pulling right, swapped the back tires to the front, straight as an arrow. Brand new toys.
