Default Alignment problem w/ 2.5" lift

All,

I had the HBS 2.5" spacers installed 3 weeks ago. I took the truck to my local 4Wheelparts to get an alignment. After the alignment, the truck was still pulling to the right, a lot. I took it back today, and they agreed. I spoke with the tech, and he said that everything was correct according to the computer specs (taking into account the 2.5" lift). He did make a modification and it is much better, but still not 100% there.

Also, he said that one of the tie roads was shot, and he replaced it for free with a new take-off from an '08 Ram that they put new suspension on. My truck has 28k miles, so I was very surprised to hear about the tie rod.

I am still running the OEM Wrangler HPs (oh how I hate them), and I'm going to have them rotated, just to see if that makes any difference.

Does anyone have the specs from their alignments running stock-size tires and a 2.5" lift?

Also, I just want to say that 4wheelparts have been great in trying to resolve the issue, and haven't fought me on anything at this point.

if you can find out wat the specs were that would be great....everytime I get my alignment done I just have that feeling that the OE specs just aren't correct when u put a 2.5" leveling kit into it...but I've been running the OE specs now for 112,000 miles.....
