I just did a 2 inch coil spacer on my bII and now with my bigger tires it pulls all over the plqce like the roads have ruts. My aligbment is off a bit. If I switch lanes or hit the paint at all it just jams to that side. Maybe my tires are toed in..would that cause this? Any info please help. I also ordered brand new upper and lower ball joints for both sides. Please give any info! thanks

Anytime you raise or lower a vehicle it affects the steering and the way your tires wear.
I'm not sure if a 2 inch suspension lift requires additional modifications such as longer tie rods or not.
Someone else will have to answer that. If not, just take it to a alignment shop and they will striaghten everything for you.

you need camber bushings and a alignment. other wise say bye-bye tires. you'd be lucky for them to last 5000 miles with a spacer to be installed on a ttb.

I'm not worried about tires I'm worried about how it drives

Get it aligned.. That'll help.

Wider tires seem to "walk" a little more when hitting ruts also. Mine used to pull a little when hitting groves in the road; but I don't notice it to much now. After a good alignment it helped a lot.
