New Leveling Kit Proble

Just had a Rough Country 2.5 inch leveling Kit installed on my wife's 2014 f-150 4x4 xlt for Valentine's Day at a Discount Wheel and Tire shop. Figured all should be good to go no problem. They test drove it, told us it was ready we paid and left. But there is a noise up front that I Thot and was told was just the tires and really sounds like a mud tire sounds on the highway. We are still running the Goodyears that came with the truck new 2000 miles ago. The sound went away for bout 60 miles once I cycled in and out of 4wheel drive once. I came back again a day later but louder now. Like a growling sound and squeel is in the mix now. Anybody have a clue what they could have done wrong at the shop?

Howdy!

You need to git'cher alignment checked. ASAP. Gawd know'd whut'all else them ignant monkeys pekker'd up, but good. Like leavin' the vac lines discorn-ected, like good ol' Peetz mentioned above (good call!).

Don't drive it much until ye gits it fixed - t'ain't SAFE. And on dry pavement you could damage ye CV's, an' other stuff (tahrs) in short order.

BTW - start saving up fer new CV's and BJ's, as reckon you'll be buyin' yer wifey new front-end components fer next Valentine's Day, when they wear out due to extreme angle-induced stresses caused by the POS level kit. 2.5" is too much on these trucks, over time.

And ye shiney new warranty - it's likely boogered fer the front-end.

Dint do much research, ah reckon. S'okay - ye kin fix thet oversight next time, aight?

BTW - theys these here words inna English dictionary name o' 'Howdy', 'Please' and 'Thankee' - may wanna try 'em on fer size. Reckon ye'd be real surprised, yungin', how well people respond if ye show some manners - and just how poorly they respond when ye don't. Jist sayin'.

Ol' Bubber be sincere in 'is corn-cern aboot ye & yours' safety - so don't be a-hatin'. Aight?

Best o' luck!
