    Whatever this forum told me to do
    So my truck started to pull to the right earlier this year.

    So, I took it to my trusted shop to have them align it. They said they did it & he "straightened the steering wheel". I should have know then....

    so, I drove it and it still pulled to the right.

    so last weekend I too it to Firestone to align on the fancy laser "Thrust Line" doo-hicky

    well...that didn't work either and now my steering wheel is botched to the right from the previous trip.

    I'm going to take it back to Firestone to fix. I got the lifetime deal.

    see below....do y'all see anything weird?

    Gotchya. Sometimes the tread pattern can be a factor. I doubt that is the case with LTXs.

    Step 1. See if you can get your money back and stop going to Firestone. It’s a toe and go shop.
    Step 2. Find an aftermarket or off road shop that does alignments.
    Step 3. Shoot for 0.5 degrees higher caster on right side. This should help your right hand pull. This is what I’ve had done on my alignments and works well. Your camber and toe look fine but I like to see equal toe left and right.
