steering issue with bigger tires

[LimitedRunner11]

So i recently did a 2" body lift and added 2" wheel spacers with 17" wheels with 33" tires. i had to add the spacers because the 17" wheels would hit the brake calibers.
my issue that i am having and then again im not sure if it is an issue. when i turn the steering wheel to the left it returns quicker to center than it did before and when i turn to the right the steering wheel returns slower and not completely center. any ideas?

If your wheel had the an appropriate offset you wouldn't need spacers. What body lift are you running? Are you sure you're not running lift spacers on your suspension?

Any info on that body lift I'm assuming you have a 2011? I've been unable to find a body lift for the fifth gen.

the body lift was on 4 months before the wheels and tires and i had no issues with those previously. Lift spacers? these are the spacers i have on with the body lift set up.

spacers
140004-1-KIT Trail Gear Toyota Aluminum Wheel Spacer Kit, 2" for at Andy's Auto Sport 2" version

body lift
3" lift / leveling kit for FJ & 4Runner but 2"

For clarification, that is not a body lift. It's a suspension lift. Have you had a alignment done since that was installed?

Inside tire designed to turn sharper than outside. 2" seems like an extreme spacer. 1 1/4 wouldn't give you clearance?

This.

I rode around for a week after installing my spacer lift and it rode like crap and steering was all off. So I visited my local Firestone for an alignment and it feels like stock again.

just figured out what the issue was. come to find out my right caster is shifted forward some how. they can not fix it as it is maxed out so i suppose i need one of those to fix my issue.. anyone have one of these hanging around?

Caster is a element of an alignment and is not something one has or doesn't have laying around. It is a measurement of angle... You want castor maxed out within spec. If your alignment shop doesn't know that, it's time to switch pronto!
