I had an alignment done as my truck was pulling to the right a bit and steering felt like I was herding chickens. This was after a 2" lift done w/springs. My castor was like 4.5 and 5.5 it is supposed to be about 8. All they could adjust was the toe-in. I could have done that myself.They replaced some front end parts and 1300.00 later I was right where I started. I could have done that too. I bought some castor wedges (3 degree) but have yet to put them in as it is a real PIA. Front axle has to be dropped from the spring like 5" to fit in the new bolt and wedge. So,get the alignment to get your numbers and some wedges.
