yeah the 2" leveling kit will change the toe of the front wheels it will also shift the axle to the drivers side due to the track bar length staying the same. you might need to get an adjustable track bar and then have the front wheels aligned.

You will have to get it re-aligned. You can tell that person that does it to center your steering wheel as well.

Yeah I had to get my truck realigned too. Other than that every thing is great with no bad tire ware.

To shift that axle back to center requires the adjustable track bar. I really like he 3rd gen conversion from the folks that make the DSS.
