Replaced lower steering shaft yesterday. Time to go get an alignment. I'll post back with results

 

So I'm back with some results. My alignment went well at a local Dodge dealer. My steering wheel is straight and the truck goes down the road pretty straight. The threads on the tie rods are closer to the same length now. There's still more threads engaged on the passenger side but I'm satisfied with the engagement of the driver's side threads. Iade sure they checked ride height and adjusted caster camber and toe to spec. Unfortunately I couldn't be in the garage watching the work like last time but they updated me several times through the process. I was told by the shop when I called in, the caster would have no effect on the tie rod length but somehow after adjusting caster into spec, the tie rod length is back to a normal range. I'll post the alignment sheets later for reference and questions
