leveling kit problem

I just put a leveling kit on my 2010 and on the way home i noticed a loud roar almost sounding like i have big mud tires. Also it is vibrating real bad under the truck and my foot pedals are shaking real bad and i dont know what it could be.

Id say alignment issue or you forgot to tighten something back up.

they do it for me but they said it would probably be the alignment but my old truck never did that and my alignment was horrible on that truck

Check your lugs... wouldn't be the first time a shop forgot to torque them down after a job... breaking one or more off would make a loud noise, then the wheel would definately give some horrible shaking...

Its your traction control kicking in I bet. Its a problem, there are a few pages on it already. See the follwing thread.

Go somewhere else. Sounds like they screwed up every aspect.

Is you leveling kit an on top of the strut spacer or a spring removal spacer? There is not much too mess up here, it a very simple install. Could you have broken a strut or spring and be rubbing now?

It would have been tough to properly align if the bolts were loose!

Could be your brake dust cover bent in and hitting the rotor. It happened to me.
Easy fix
