Default Can't allign after shocks replaced

Had dealer replace front shocks due to one leaking(non trd).
They checked alignment and told me it was fine...it pulls/drifts to right on all roads.

Took it into NTB, they did alignment and drifts to right still.

It never did this before shocks and I have new TIRES, so don't want uneven wear.

Any ideas??

Would the shock install have anything to do with it?

WHEN I HAD A LEFT LEAKY SHOCK IT DROVE STRAIGHT.

WHEN TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW IT PULLED RIGHT AND DEALER HAD TO TRY ALIGNING it 3 times to get it right.

Shock install shouldn't have anything to do with it, unless the shock has lost nitrogen pressure and height...IIRC even with the 7/8" bore aftermarket shocks, the gas pressure isn't providing much of a gas spring.

Post the alignment numbers. It'll be pretty obvious if the pull is simply low caster on the right...just because the alignment looked right to the guys at NTB, doesn't mean it's actually correct.

Went back to NTB and they fixed the right pull.

I was assured tire wear is not an issue with the drift put in from factory to right, to avoid on coming traffic if i fall asleep at the wheel?

I was considering adjustable 5100 bilsteins, But wondering how hard would it be to align with those lifted to 2 0r 2.5 lift and avoid tire wear?
