The truck has handled great for years with Fox coil-overs. Recently my tire shop did an alignment (see initial specs) causing the steering to be over sensitive and constantly correcting.
I took it to a different alignment guy (see final specs) and now it handles better but not quite as stable as it did originally. It has a slight pull to the left.
I called them back to tell them about the pulling to the left and now they are blaming it on the tires.
The caster on the right wheel is a bit higher than it should be when considering side to side split but I seriously doubt it's enough to make the truck pull, they are probably right about the tires, Swap them side to side and go drive again.

I would like to add that the toe-in should be reduced. Larger tires respond better to keeping the numbers "flatter and straighter". I would tend to prefer specs closer to your "initial" numbers, but with a toe-in no more than 1/16". Your first alignment would have responded better had they lowered the toe-in number.
Have them check out your steering components also. With the lift could wear them out. Tie rods inner and outer, ball joints upper and lower, control arm bushings....ect. Tire pressures equal.

All the suspension components are in good condition. I check my tire pressure religiously. Truck has 59,000 miles on it now and the Duratracs have 22,000 miles.

Do these alignment specs look right?
