How much does that usually run. That sounds really expensive.

For reference, here's my results from Firestone after my 2.5" AS install.

Most places charge $10-15 per tire for the Roadforce balance. Not too much. You usually only find them at your higher quality (expensive) tire shops. People here swear by them to remove their steering wheel shake/nibble.

So normally you have to slightly steer to the left when you're driving down the street... correct?

What happens if you try to drive on the other side of the road so the crown of the road would be running off to your left? Do you then have to steer to the right to make the truck go straight?

Yes, a proper alignment will make the vehicle go straight on a perfectly smooth, perfectly level road. Any amount of crown will make the vehicle pull slightly to the low side of the crown.

I know that. I'm asking 06flamefx4 if that's what his truck does.

He said his truck pulls to the right, but that's the way it would normally pull because if you're driving on the right side of the road, the low side of the crown will almost always be to your right. I'm wondering if he drives on the wrong side of the road where the low side of the crown would be on his left which way the vehicle pulls.

Okay my bad...

Hey flame. No matter what the specs show, the alignment shop should have road tested it to verify the wheel was actually on center, and the truck does not pull. Take it back and have them do it right.
