How do you fix bump steer on a lifted truck?

I recently installed a lift kit on my truck, but the steering has been off ever since. Is there a way to fix bump steer on my newly lifted truck?

I’m sure the lift kit looks great on your truck, but it sounds like you didn’t install your lift kit correctly, or parts of your suspension are bent. But don’t worry, you can fix a bump steer on a lifted truck by visiting a mechanic.
Bump steer issues can be a bit complex to fix and are best handled by a professional. In most situations, replacing the track bars or drag links or installing a pitman arm will fix your truck’s steering.
That said, for the time being, make sure you always drive with two hands on the wheel and avoid speeding. Bump steer can be dangerous, especially at high speeds. Keeping two hands on the wheel at all times will ensure you don’t lose control of the vehicle if bump steer occurs.
