I just think a place that does alignments on big trucks and for body shops do a better overall job than tire techs. Who do you want? A guy that has years of experience on a frame rack or some one who just graduated from the tire balancer. Just my 2 cents.

Mine bumpsteers a little. It seems to be holding an alignment. Take your truck to a frame shop, not a tire shop. It cost more for a alignment but it seems to be better. At least thats true for me.
