re: Truck pulls right after new rims and tires...

i can fix your issue Gaston. Just because alignment is "in spec" does not help pull issues which are almost always tires btw. You need to push caster forward on the right wheel by one degree over the left side to correct and "drift" associated with alignment. Many alignment techs do not know this. All they know is what the Hunter machine tells em is in spec. This only applies to rear wheel drive vehicles.
Have you crossed the front tires to see if it starts pulling left yet? Are the tires directional?

I did swap the front tires...actually I had an alignment done and it was perfect...then I took it off-road to play with 4 Lo and see how dependent engagement was with 'driving straight'. I hit a few mud holes and bam, alignment fricked up again. Drove it 3 or 4 thousand miles on a big road trip and the fricker pulled like a bitch. Got back and had the tires rotated and alignment checked. They said in spec. Still pulls, albeit a bit better than with other fronts. I feel like these tires will do the same eventually. I bet I wacked out my caster angle.
