Alignment on 4th Gen 4runner lifted

[unlimitedFJ4]

So I just took my 4th Gen in for alignment at Les Schwab I'm on brand new 33 inch toyo open countrys and it's still pulling a bit to the right i think tire pressure may be off I'm going to check it now. I had a late appointment today but I will be bringing it back tomorrow morning to get the numbers rechecked because I'm not to happy with it.

these were my number what did you think. any alignment experts?

not an alignment expert but check your brakes for a stuck caliper. it seems to be an issue with these vehicles.

I purchased the lifetime warranty at Firestone for my 4Runner and my wifes FJ- $139 each. You have to find a shop with a tech that knows how to align lifted vehicles but when you do it is a good deal.

Easy to find a tech, just bring him out and ask him what he knows about your lift. You can tell right away if he knows what he is doing or just BS.

I get an alignment after every hard run.

Pull the brakes apart and inspect the calipers. Search Frozen calipers. Tons of threads. Very common issue.

What do you expect them to change? Those numbers are about as good as it gets. It does look like your caster was way off before. Not sure how long you drove it, but it should have pulled like a beast before. Maybe you were just accustomed to the way it was?

A caliper sticking is not likely to cause a pull. If it does, you will smell it and it doesn't take long to wear through a set of pads.

One real possibility is that the tires are causing the problem. I would start by crossing the front tires. Here is everything you need to know an more about conicity Diagnosing Tire Problems
