Nice! My truck is so high with a 2 inch level and 35's I can't imagine raising it 4 more inches! I wish I could see a couple of these big lifts in person. Congrats though as the pics look great!

Oh also the alignment is off. Go to a dedicated alignment shop and they will fix your steering wheel/alignment no problem.

Yes, look at the Forscan thread. You can use that software to set the pressure to what you want.

looks like they didnt bother to cut off the excess threads on the rear ubolts. you can leave them like that but it doesnt have nearly as clean of a look as if the excess was cut off. rear sway bar appears they didnt use any drop down bracket to get it close to the original position. since you probly wont ever haul much in the bed i would just remove the rear swaybar altogether. for what your doing with the truck it will serve no purpose

Well by looking at the pic I posted in my comment you need to go get it aligned as soon as possible. Sounds like they ran out of time. Can you take a straight down the drivers side, stoop down when taking it so I can see top to bottom. The off center steering wheel you can fix in your drive way.

can an alignment shop mess with aftermarket stabilizers? I'm assuming this is how you get the wheel straight or... am I wrong?

do these trucks need a longer drive shaft?

Does it sound weird for the truck to pull to the right slightly? Or is this common. Does it have to do with the place the stabilizer that replaced the factory one is located?

as I posted in the facebook thread; toyo mts have a known right pull, get your alignment checked/fixed. you need to correct your caster.

like others have said, you can straighten your wheel by adjusting the drag link.
stabilizers have no adjustment and may be contributing to the pull. if there is high pressure in the stabilizer it may produce a pull.
i had a carli stabilizer on my ram and the pressure from it induced a pull.
