Is my alignment shop crazy?Help!

Last week my brother and I put a AS level kit on my truck. Trying to be responsible I had the alignment done Friday, 6 days and less than 150 miles after the kit instal. The shop looks really old and its the only alignment shop in town but my mechanic, who I trust, sends all alignment needs to this shop. Anway, the guy told my wife when she picked it up that it was really out of alignment and that I need two tires. Well I looked and the tires are fine. Thats not my problem. Today I noticed that to keep the truck straight I had to keep the steering wheel at the 11 o'clock posistion. If I put the steering wheel straight, the truck starts to turn to the right fairly quickly. The tuck doesnt pull in any one direction at all; it goes in the direction I point it in, but when the steering wheel is straight it doesnt go straight. Is this an alignment problem or something I might have done when installing the level kit? Unless you guys can inform me other wise, Ill be going by the shop on Monday to talk to the mechanic.

I would take it to a different shop out of town for a second opinion. Alignments are cheap enough.

I would go back to him, when he pulled your truck in for in alignment he did not set the wheel straight. He then proceded to do the alignment and centered the wheels with the steering wheel not centered.
