Something I'm not seeing here. You change the shocks, add a little lift and now the steering wheel is not straight. Doing this should have nothing to do with a crooked steering wheel unless there is a replaced component installed wrong. That would be my guess since it appears you did not have this issue before doing the work.

when I installed the Bilstein suspension the alignment was a bit off but the steering was straight. It all started getting all weird ever since I took it to the first shop and they started the alignment that they couldn’t do successfully. They brought up the whole EPAS thing which kinda had me questioning if I did something wrong. This new place they just did another fix to the alignment and the wheel is a hair from being centered. And it doesn’t pull or wonder which makes me think the first place didn’t have much experience with the truck.

OK so, taking it to the first alignment shop, they were responsible for the steering wheel being out of whack if I'm reading you correctly. Which means the steering wheel, up to that point, was straight and you were merely taking your truck in to ensure the alignment was correct and to have it adjusted if needed. They did a **** poor job and you took it elsewhere and they mostly corrected the problem. Now, it's down to getting the steering wheel perfectly straight and I would say at this point, the tie rods need just a bit more tweaking.

you are absolutely correct. This is what the new shop tech is doing. He actually took it on 2 test drives already and I showed him my concerns with the steering wheel so he’s aware of what’s going on. I was just super worried. I hope nothing got messed up by the other shop, the new tech also told me he was going to check everything to make sure nothing is loose.
Guys I’m happy to report that the new shop left the alignment on point. The tech took it on 3 test drives and dialed it in. Steering is super straight and no drifting or anything, so the other shop was clueless. Thank the lord they didn’t touch the truck today. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I really appreciate it.
