So i went to get an alignment done and they told me that my ball joints needed replaced. So after i checked them myself and got a second opinion i decided to let them change them. took it to a local 4wheel drive shop ORW and had them change all 4 ball joints pitman arm tie rod, track bar bushing, 1080.00 $ with a new alignment ( had them get the spicer ball joint Greaseable) so i get in the truck and drive it down the road still pulls right i got home rotated tires and changed air pressure no difference so i am at a loss... called the shop back and they said well all dodges pull to the right. ummmmmmm????? so anyone got any advice i would greatly apriciate it. not sure if they offset the pass. side ball joint or what? do you have to have adj ball joints for them to offset them?

swap the front tires side to side it may be a tire making the truck pull if it pulles the other way you have a bad tire

I noticed you have a revtek 2". Leveling kits tend to make these trucks pull to the right. My truck has done it ever since I installed mine. Even the 22.5 conversion didn't help mine.

first thing i did was swapped the tires. and the truck didn't always pull to the right it just gradually started i guess? about the last year or so

If all Dodges pulled to the right they wouldn't be able to get em off the lot. Thats a load of crap.

my '01 pulls to the left

a level kit should not make your truck pull to the right. some people say this because they do the level kit and bigger, more aggresive tires at the same time, and assume it's the lift. i think it's due to the 35" toyo m/t's, and you can try going back to the alignment shop and see if some negative cross caster helps to offset your right hand pull.

Ive had 3 Dodges. 98.5,04.5 and now my 06. All of them have pulled to the right prety hard. Its anoying but Ive learned to just drive stearing to the left. The 04.5 I bought brand new and it always did it.

One of the only nice things about my 06 is that it doesn't pull right

Mine doesn't pull right.

I have heard that a light pull to the right is factored into a correct alignment to allow the vehicle to vier off the road should you go a sleep or lose consciousness so you don't run into the opposing lane of traffic. Even if this is BS, much of this affect could also be the crown that is built into all roads to allow water to run off too.

That's funny. My truck drove perfect and after I installed my leveling kit, it started pulling to the right. That was with stock wheels and tires. Had the alignment checked and everything is dead on. So, it had to be the leveling kit that changed mine because I didn't touch anything else. It doesn't pull that bad though and for the looks, it's worth it. I know of a few trucks from our club that started pulling to the right more after leveling kits. Oh well, I don't know.

Mine didn't pull either, until about 2 weeks ago. Now it pulls to the right. I had new Nittos put on a couple thousand ago, so maybe they did it.

My truck pulled right, and I switched the tires and now it pulls left. Mine always pulled to the right after I installed the leveling kit.

was the alignment done at an off road shop that knows how to align lifted trucks, or at the dealership or a front end/tire shop that mostly does stock vehicles? by dead on, do you mean in the green? if you do a search, you can find lots of vehicles that had handling issues that were alignment related, even with toe and caster in the green. also, level kits can exaggerate the 1" side to side tolerances that dodge allows for, and can exaggerate the differences in the driver's side/passenger side coil springs, but these are things that already exist, and are not created by the level kit. here's a thread where XLR8R (mike) talks about some alignment specs
