Alignment after lift

[snow&surf]

After driving about 1k miles with my setup I decided to measure the distance from the center of my wheel hub to the fender as many of you who have already lifted done. Unforunately I did not measure this distance prior to installing the lift so I don't know exactly how much lift I got :crybaby:.

Anyway, all measurements are 24" except for the left rear which is 23.5". I did get an alignment done immediately after the lift was installed. Now, I have been feeling a slight pull to the left when driving and was wondering if this is due to the fact that my left rear is 0.5" shorter than the rest of the truck lift. If the difference in the measurements isn't causing this because camber/caster/toe adjustments can be made then should I get the truck realigned or have the shop make everything even? I also wanted to know your thoughts on if this would create any problems with the suspension or the wear on any of the tires because of the one off measurement. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think you will have any suspension wear that is abnormal the slight pull to the left will affect your gas mileage and will start to make your front tires wear funny. My 4runner is pulling slightly to the right now so it is back to the alignment shop for me

to back track on my OP, after driving for 1k miles i brought my truck to the shop on thursday for their courtesy check of all the bolts, lines, etc of the suspension installation work. after the suspension had a chance to settle, i noticed the front end was lower than the rear so i asked them to level it out and that's when i took my measurements. they aligned it after re-leveling since the geometry was changed and this is when i noticed the pull to the left.

anyhow, brought the truck back in this morning and they verified the left pull. they realigned everything and rectified the issue. they even went on a test drive with me to see if i was satisfied with the results. the truck drives straight as an arrow and is much smoother with less tire noise. needless to say i'm very happy i addressed this and that they took ownership of the issue free of charge :lookout:
