    My trucks been pulling to the right for awhile and has been getting worse....took it in for a rotation and alignment and it's still pulling to the right. Figured I'd throw this up here and see if any of you alignment gurus might have some input or something else to look at. Thanks in advance

    I was told that the caster was impossible to get in spec cause it's an aftermarket suspension.

    I’m not an alignment specialist, but I agree that perhaps the settings are not taking what they call “road crown” into account.

    Based on your numbers they only set the toe and didn't even try to adjust camber/caster. The vehicle will pull to the side with most positive camber and least positive caster. With almost 1* cross caster on the left side it probably steers right in a hurry. Because it doesn't even look like they tried, I would find a new shop for an alignment. You want camber to be the same on both sides, toe to be the same on both sides and 0.5* more caster on the right side to compensate for road crown

    The tires you're running in my experience tend to always wanna pull right so I would ask for maybe 0.6-0.7* more caster on the right than left.

    They only adjusted toe. There's a huge caster difference side to side

    The question you need to ask yourself is, would you agree to let them cut out and replace the lower cam bolts if they are seized and won't spin without damaging the alignment tabs?

    Like it or not, the lower cam bolts on these trucks are prone to rusting in place. That's why alignment guys don't touch them

    Way too much left side caster vs right. Lower caster on left side or increase caster on right side.

    Also a possibility but you'd think they'd say something instead of just kicking the can down the road to the next guy without even trying

    Toe and blow, lazy tech.

    Most guys on here have luck bringing it back and making them actually align the damn truck.

    If the lower arms are seized thats fine, but its not what they told you.

    Caster and camber need to be balanced.
