I just replaced the pitman arm, idle arm and some other worn out bushings on my 99 tahoe. The truck has a 6" rancho lift installed. I took it to NTB today to get an alignment done, but the truck still seems to pull right and the steering wheel wants to settle in the 11 o'clock range.

Was this a shoddy alignment job or is it just to be expected because of the lift? I don't remember having this issue with my old lifted TJ, but to be honest it rode like a three legged mule and i'm not sure I gave it much attention.

Any feedback would be appreciated before I take it back up to NTB.

EDIT: I was certain this was the lift section, I was wrong.

Take it to NTB, but were there any other parts wore out? Tie Rod Ends/Ball joints?

They said they inspected and everything else looked good. Although, when they showed me the alignment sheet they mentioned that everything was in specs, which makes me think it needs custom adjustments due to the lift.

I would like to see the spec sheet printout. All within spec is bull$hit. I can tell you what may be the problem if I can get the readout or at least you reply with readout numbers for each side.
