ready lift

hey guys, just got done installing a ready lift kit on my 2012 f-250 sc 4x4 diesel. it has 2 inches of lift in the rear via bigger blocks and 2 1/2 lift in front via spacer blocks. it also came with some spacer brkts to drop sway bar and shock ext for the front. plus a new dropped locating bar brkt. first off I LOVE the way the truck looks now. I installed it in my driveway in about 2- 2 1/2 hours and all went pretty smooth accept getting the new track bar bracket hooked up {what a pain} anyway my sterring wheel is off center now and truck pulls just a little bit to the left. is this something that a alighnment {sp} will take care off?? I have put a couple front leveling kits on in the past with a couple super dutys I had and never had this problem.
thanks for any help!! Charlie,,,

Yes, mine did the same thing. You can fix it in about 5 minutes, just Google it or look for a video on YouTube.

When you relocate a track bar via spacers, bracket, or new bar, your steering wheel will be off center. Adjust the drag link to center it back up, or take it to the alignment shop and they will do it for you. The 4 superdutys I have leveled/lifted all did the same thing.

I had to adjust the drag link on mine after leveling as well. Take it to an alignment shop.
