Pulling to the right

Does anyone know the reason these trucks pull to the right? Just had an allignment done with my stock wheels and BFG all terrain 285/75R16's. The tech, who seems to know his stuff said there is nothing wrong as far as he can see in the front end. New ball joints, wheel bearing assemblies, track bar is good, tie rods,etc. Still pulls right! I've heard this is common on these trucks but there must be a fix for it right? Tires also seem to be wearing more on the inner edge of the tread but all allignment specs are in range! any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. oh I'm running with 50 psi on all 4.

I found mine to have a loose bolt on the front end on the right on the end of the track bar (i think that is what it is) It has a round washer in it with an offset hole. I had to rotate it 180 degrees appx to move the front axle forward as it seemed to be too close to the back axle (not parallel to it) causing the pull to the right.

I have also had low tires on the right causing the pull but air to proper pressure as you seem to have done remedies that.
