    I originally had the truck aligned per recommended specs(0-camber/3-caster/0-toe) and they pretty much got it on. It pulled to the right, but I was just happy they were able to get it to not rub.

    Now I want to get it to track straight. It pulls to the right immediately after letting go of the wheel. I'm thinking of having them try the stock specs. Any recommendations?

    why didn't they make the toe equal from side to side?
    Maybe straightening out that driver side toe a bit more would better balance it out?

    Not sure, the tech had a hard time with it and said it was the best he could do.

    Toe should be the easiest of the 3 angles to get.
    Might be worth at least calling to ask the guy if he thinks it could make a difference.

    You can either have them drop the caster on the driver side down just a touch, or bring that camber on the passenger side exactly to 0 to match the driver.

    I remember the guy having a hell of the time with the camber, so I can ask them to mess with the caster first. Thanks for the idea.
