I tried to explain once to the front desk clerk when I had my front aligned that I only needed a front end alignment, she didn't believe me and insisted they always do a 4 wheel alignment regardless of vehicle type.

Did you allow the truck to settle out before aligning? I drove mine for a week or so before aligning to let the new springs settle. If not you might want to have it checked again in a month.

The rear alignment is out because the axle isn't parallel to the centerline of the frame. Notice the left wheel is -0.20 and the right is +0.45 degrees: the left is toe'd in, and the right toe'd out. Basically, that means the truck won't track straight- the rear will be kicked slightly to the right so it will have a little dog-tracking going on. Spring sag or even worn bushings could cause that.

Shouldn't his diff be perpindicular to frame centerline? If it were parallel, he could do serious donuts though...

parallel = the side-by-side, same direction, etc
perpindicular = rotated 90 degrees

I get what you mean. I said axle parallel to the frame... and should've said the axle perpindicular to the frame.

Thanks for calling me out. It was a long day and sounded "right" in my head but failed when the fingers translated it to the keyboard.
