Replaced Steering box, now pulls to right

I had the common problem of steering play. Installed a new, not rebuilt gear box and the play is gone. Steers like new. Now I have a pretty good pull to the right. I had it aligned after the box install hoping that would solve the pull but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks

Also look over your ball joints good & make sure they aren't bad as well. Mine was drifting all over the place before I changed them out, and they didn't look / feel too terribly worn either.

True, but if the ball joints need to be replaced it'll need another alignment anyways. FWIW, Before I redid my front end I had it aligned 2x and still experienced a bad ride, bad tire wear, and "mystery noises" while driving. Now it's a completely different animal.... smooth, quiet, and a "new car" feel. I don't think it was any one part that was completely worn out, it was the combination of normal wear on all of the parts.
Are the 2WD factory joints a no grease style as well? If so, any grease that was in them is now gone / contaminated anyways. Replace 'em.
All that being said, I'd still bring it back to the alignment shop first and have them check their work. I'm surprised they aligned it after seeing ripped BJ boots.
