    Alright here's mine from most recent alignment. I used to have good luck with my local Firestone, but am beginning to think it's time for a new shop.

    That rear toe is a good bit different one side to the other.

    Sorry for my ignorance, but what is "road forced", sounds like something I should have done to prove the tire is bad?

    Road force balancing is another way to balance a tire. It puts weight (road force) on the tire vs free spinning.

    Good catch. I admit I never end up looking at the rear specs, as I was under the impression there's not really room for adjustment with our trucks. Is rear toe something that can actually be changed, and would it tend to affect pull?

    I had this very same problem and found out that it was a defective tire made by Toyo. Open Country AT2 . There is something know as radial pull, according to customer service at Toyo, a tire can have the belts misaligned ,causing it to pull to one side more than the other. Sometimes swapping the tires to the other side will correct the problem and sometimes not. They sent my tire dealer two new tires and that solved the problem. I did not have a lift though.
