I too am having this problem. Finished my 4/6 drop last month. I go to NTB (National Tire and Battery) to get an alignment, and when it was done my steering wheel is cocked to the left. I'm thinking about having them fix it. Hopefully they can do that without charging me another alignment fee. Because of my drop it costed me $140, just for my alignment. LOL!

I agree, it is more of a check to see if there is any damage to the axle and/or suspension. Here in the Philippines the larger vehicles often kick the rear axle so the rear tracks slightly toward the roads shoulder. This way if the driver can get his left fender pass an oncoming vehicle more than likely the rear will also slip through. Folks standing along the road just have to get out of the way. Driving here is a contact sport.

FIXED GOTDARNIT!!!
I marked the tie rods horizontalally using a paint marker. I drew a line from the tie rod end, through the nut and on to the adjusting sleeve. Than I drew a vertical line on the threads marking where the sleeve sat originally.
One complete turn forward on the passenger side and one turn backward on the drivers side straightened it up nicely. Imagine that! And to think, I never went to school, dont have a rack..........nothing!

My wife has a rack as well, but wouldnt let me use it lol. I will keep an eye on the tires big guy. I turned both sleeves the same amount so it shouldnt have messed with anything. The truck drives just as it did before just with the steering wheel where it tickles my fancy. If my tires do wear I will take it in to the last place that did it and have them do it under warranty.
