2024 Ram 1500 — lift installed — what geometry should be rechecked?

This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. 2024 Ram 1500 Limited, about 26,000 miles. The vehicle drives okay after the lift but steering return-to-center is weaker. What alignment values and suspension geometry matter most instead of just accepting a printout full of green boxes?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Ram 1500 in New Jersey, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “lift installed — what geometry should be,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Ram 1500 in New Jersey with 26,000 miles. Any freeze-frame data saved? Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Following up on lift installed — what geometry should be: still happening, but I have better notes now. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Ram 1500, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Any freeze-frame data saved? I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 Ram 1500 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
