Alignment Issue After Tire Change

[dsmracing1]

Hey All,

I am trying to figure out a little problem I'm having with my 14 F350. I have a set of 35x12.50x20 tires I have taken off for the winter and have decided to put my stock tires on for the winter. The problem that I'm running into is that the truck had the lift and tires all put on at the same time and had an alignment done as well. Now that I have my stock 20's put back on all of a sudden my truck is pulling to the left like a SOB. Anyone know why this might be? haven't changed anything else and haven't hit any hard bumps or anything that could potentially play a part in changing something. Is there something I'm missing or do all of a sudden I need an alignment?? I have checked tire pressures and there good too.

Thanks, Cam

I am guessing that you changed wheels too? Are they the same offset? You probably could stand to have the toe-in reset. Different size tires/offsets cause different amounts of drag, changing the way your steering reacts to it.

Yeah my aftermarket rims with the 35's have a good offset to them but not sure what they are. I have the wide fender flares and they are even with them where the stock ones look goofy with the flares on. At the oddest of times it will drive straight but the road has to be on an angle haha. I might see if there is a place that can do a quick alignment while I wait or I might just say screw it and put my 35's back on for the winter. What a PITA lol.

Mine has been doing that. On concrete roads it good. When I hit asphalt roads it'll pull to the left. Its weird.

I hate it lol. gonna try and swap the front tires to see if it's the tires and if it still pulls then I'm putting my mud tires back on. Winters are harsh here and the mud tires aren't great on ice though!

Swapping the front tires didn't work. On go the mud tires again for the winter!
