leveling kit

i put a leveling kit on my truck saturday and took it to get aligned today and they checked it and said everything was in line but when i turn sharp on pavement the front tires squeel and it rain this evening and it hydroplained alot, does this seem right and maybe i just didnt notice it before or is the alignment wrong, also i had a ford dealership do the alignment

i have check alignment on 3-4 ford trucks with the leveling kit on them and i have only had to fix one alignment, it is very possible that the camber angels are extreme then the wheel is cranked to one side or the other, but thats not what an alignment is ment to fix. the hydroplaning i dont know what to tell u other than u did change some wheight distrabution when leveling it or maybe your tires are not as good as they once were.

ok thanks i just wasnt sure they were right so i thought i would ask what people on here thought about it, also it did rain pretty hard so that might have been the hydroplaning problem
