Just installed the OME 2 inch lift kid with the front diff drop. Everything went up smoothly and I had the alignment done by Toyota but it started pulling right. All the specs are back to normal but they couldn't figure out why it pulled right. The salesmen thought it may have been the tires with uneven wear, but I think they were trying to make a buck. Any suggestions to what the issue might be?

Ask to see the printout from the machine, don't just look for green numbers, make sure the numbers themselves are within spec and the same on both sides. Sometimes the shops will raise the tolerances to get the cars done faster.

That said my truck also tends to pull to one side or the other over time, not sure why.

you could be paranoid and your on a crowned road or your brakes are froze up on the right side. or like they said uneven tires because my 4runner had really bad uneven tires and pulled one way or the other.

Just an update. Checked the joints, got new tires (really happy with the 32 inch upgrade) and it still slightly wants to go to the right when the wheel is straight. thanks for the advice comrades

Could be the crown int he road, I assume it has been properly aligned recently? That is the first thing you do if it is pulling to some side. Just hitting a speed bump the wrong way can screw it up if the last guy didn't tighten it down properly.

could be a miss adjusted rear wheel crank for the drum brakes too

Pull left. Thats what I do.

When putting on the back lift, Could I have made the mistake of making the brakes go active? I have been getting ˟˟˟˟ gas mileage but I don't feel a loss of power

Jack it up and spin the wheels to eliminate that as an issue. It may just be the crown in the road as stated above. See if it pulls to the left when on the opposite side of the street (Just make sure no cars are coming).

it could be affecting the lspv on the rear axle if you have a lift but that shouldnt affect which side it pulls to

I thought that may have been the issue. I am going to have it aligned and check out my brakes if there is an issue. thanks.
