I'm hoping that you guys can bail me out. I just changes wheels and tires. I went from 265/70R/17 to 285/75/16. Now when I drive it has a pull to the passenger side. I'v already moved the tires to check and see if I had a bad belt in one of the tires and it still pulls to the passenger side. I'm thinking I need to get a front end alignment What do ya think?

Check the tires again, check the rims, and check the tire pressure.

Alignment could help identify the problem. Do you still have the stock tires and wheels? If yes, why don't you try them to see what happens? This would be very helpful isolating the cause? So you can concentrate on the tires and wheels or suspension and steering components.

Thats interesting. I just had my BFG 285/75/16's balanced and my truck now pulls to the right as well. Just started doing this. I've had nothing but issuses with my truck vibrating or bouncing and now pulling. Let me know what you find out.

Unequal tire pressure sounds like the culprit to me. Not Firestones I pray??

Well fellas I took the Crew into the dealer and sure enough they did an alignment and it's now ALL GOOD. I was suprised that they didn't even say a word about the change I did with the bigger tires. Ford does give you 12 months or 12K miles on alignment but I'm happy about not paying for it. : ) I guess there is a few dealers that care after all. (I think) Yeeesssss
