Default pulling after alignment

1999 f150 5.4.
Recently I replaced : shocks, upper and lower control arms, new ball joints, tie rod ends and sway Bar links. I took the truck to Ford and had it aligned.. The truck is pulling significantly to the right. The truck has brand new tiers. What are some things I could suspect, other then taking a second look and my own handy work listed. Ball bearings maybe?

is it a 4x4? If so got on some grass and make sure it's in 2wheel. Mine pulls pretty good when in 4wheel and going like 45+

I say take it back to Ford. Any alignment shop is supposed to test drive the car afterwards and check for that.

Your alignment wasn't done right. Take it back & have them make it right.

That's kinda what I was thinking. I'll take it back to them have it checked out and go from there.
