Tire whistling...

okay so I just got a 3 inch suspension for my 94 Toyota pickup, 4x4. 3"front 2" back. Ran fine and perfect no problems before the lift but after the lift once I hit about 20 mph my front left tire starts making the whistle noise, since the lift it has turned outward a bit as well, and it makes the ride a bit bumpy. I'm assuming I need to go get my truck realligned?

At least I think that's what will fix the problem, just making sure before I end up going to do that in the morning...

I don't know about the whistling, but a full alignment after a lift is usually necessary. Only time I had a tire whistle was when it had a hole in it.

I don't think its a hole because we didn't use anything that really could put a hole in it .. I can tell the tire Has shifted and I think its riding more closer to the sidewall and its just producing this annoying sound that reminds me of a whistle

Yeah any adjustments to the steering or ride height requires an alignment check. Not sure about the whistle, air stems with no caps catching air like a bottle?? Inspect for rubbing. whistling could be squeeling which would be rubbing.
