Wandering after leveling kit install.

I installed a 2.5" leveling kit on my 2008 F-250 and now it wanders.

I have yet to install bigger tires so I know the tires are not part of the issue.

I have retorqued the bolts.

I have done these kits on other trucks with no significant difference in handling.

Any one else experience this and is there a solution?

T.I.A.

What kit?

DiD you:
I stall a adj track bar or drop bracket?
Castor plugs HAVE to be used to restore Castor lost by the lift unless drop hangers are used on the radius arms.
Dual steering stabilizers are highly recommended for these trucks.

install the dual stabilizers and that will help assuming you did the other stuff as above. You have to get it re-aligned.

Sounds like it's most likely a caster issue.....especially if the setup that you used didn't include caster cams.
