Question Alignment problem

I took my truck to one place to get my tires and alignment done, but they said they didnt want to do the alignment because there was too much play in the idler arm, upper and lower ball joints on both sides, and the outer and inner tire rod ends. so i took it to my dealership where i bought it becasue all of the parts were listed on my warranty. so the dealership said only the outer tie rod ends and replaced them... so should i get the alignment done and risk the parts breaking back into play and ruining them or should i just save up and replace all the parts? im going to take it to a dealer for a 2nd opinion.

The dealership you have your warranty with is probably going to replace only the bare minimum. If you take it the place you were going get it aligned at and they say it still isnt good enough I would go to the dealer and insist they fix it all.

could that 7.5 inch fabtech lift be causing issues? Do you have the long travel kit? or the crossmember kit?
