    So my 3rd gen has been pulling to the left for awhile now. Tire wear "looks" normal but it's hard to tell what the problem is cause my suspension and wheels and tires all got put on simultaneously. What I do know..for sure..is that stock it didn't pull left.
    I've had my alignment done 4 times at 2 different shops..same results.
    Tires are Nitto Trail MT's. 285's 17".
    Lift is fox 2.5 extended, TC ucas, and HS aal.
    I've taken a tape measure and have measured everything. All looks good. Rear axle is straight, nothing is thrusted forward or back. I mean everything is dead on.
    Wheels are method 17" x 8.5..bought new.
    What is jacked is everytime I go to discount tire they tell me my tires are not balanced. I tell them "you were the last ones to balance them". Truck has 10k miles and is babied. No wrecks or weird curb rash or pothole issues.
    Can u all give me an opinion on my alignment numbers...
    Just would like another set of eyes. The rear toe has me a bit worried but like I said everything measures good. Unless these numbers are so miniscule that it wouldn't matter.
    Tires were swapped left to right by DT this afternoon but I haven't driven it yet. Am hoping it pulls the other way. They said they may warranty it if blah blah blah pulls the other way and wear is within the Nitto warranty spec. What sucks is I've been battling DT for the last 9k miles about this pull issue. So we'll see.
    Ok rant over..thanks for reading.

    All opinions welcome.
    Thx TW.

    Does it actually pull or is the steering wheel just off?

    My "toe" in the rear is what worries me.
