you need an alignment after a leveling kit. if you didnt get one, then thats your answer just as hammer said.

Yup. But your issue now... You can not align tires that are not flat, at least not a good alignment. So just before the alignment rotate the rears to the front.

like said above, if theyre already too crowned then you cant really align those tires so your best bet is move the rear tires to the front.
