Have you had it aligned after doing the leveling kit?

An alignment shop should check every thing before doing an alignment.

They should find any loose ball joints, bearings or tie rod ends. The toe in adjustment alone can make it feel unsafe and wander all over the place.

Yo,
I would begin with Alignment;
The steering linkage has adjustments at the tie rod end (3A131). First, remove the horn pad and make sure the steering wheel is properly installed as described in Section 11-04. With steering wheel locked in place, set toe to correct specification.
Toe-in and toe-out refer to the difference in the distance between the extreme front and extreme rear of the tires.

  • Toe-in (positive toe) occurs when the dimension taken at the front of the tires is less than that taken at the rear of the tires.
  • Toe-out (negative toe) occurs when the dimension taken at the front of the tires is greater than that taken at the rear of the tires.
  • If aftermarket equipment that significantly affects the ride height (i.e., snowplow, second unit bodies, tool boxes) is added, the toe may need to be adjusted. Toe should be maintained at the specified setting with the vehicle in the loaded condition experienced for more than 50 percent of use.
  • Toe should only be checked and adjusted after the caster and camber have been adjusted to specification. Refer to Wheel Alignment,Front in the Specifications portion of this section.
