Default Another suspension problem for me.

Its a 2000 Dodge ram 1500 rc/lb and 2wd.

Was in a bad accident, had to straighten the frame. I got it aligned after and its still pulling to the left pretty well with no hands on the wheel. Any ideas of what i should check for.

dragging caliper, look at the pads and see if they are worn more than the other side

You bet, an alignment can't fix broken parts. Get under your truck and check every steering part for movement, check all the bushings for rotting/drying out. The bushings are definitely shot though.
