I figured out why it kept pulling to the right...

Check out the "before" column on the front wheels. The "toe" values were the worst of all. I was never convinced that the family friend/mechanic that aligned my truck after the lift had the alignment right. I also hit a really bad pothole about a month ago. My local Chevy dealership charged $90 and had it completed in about an hour and 30 minutes. My truck was pulling to the right really bad at highway speeds. I can pretty much take my hands off the wheel and it will stay straight now.

Yeah some people aren't so good at doing alignments...I took mine to Belle Tire and paid $80 something and got a printout like yours showing they were all adjusted to be in the green. The camber on the back wheels always looked off and it still had a little pull. Had it aligned last summer when I got new tires, paid $50 and the guys were real cool and showed me the readings and just *shoot* with me while they were working because it was just a small shop. But after that it doesn't pull and the camber on the rear actually looks correct

I found a local shop here that does nothing but alignments "Alignment specialties" and they do a 4 wheel alignment for $75 and $60 for a 2 wheel.

Had the same issue with my burb abnd they fixed it after Les schwab had it 2 times. The first time they charged the same price and the second time they did it for free. It took him one time to fix it.

Hard to find someone who can do great alignments...

There was a Guy at Goodyear once upon a time that did amazing alignments... My cars would always track 100% when he was done... Even the stealership couldn't get it quite right...

There is another shop that does a good Job... But the problem is that they are the best locally.... Their alignments are always booked out 1 week....

However, we had Mariks buick aligned at a local place( same day ) and it drives great... Guy did a good job on the alignment..
