1 tire sticks out further
So I put my new tires and wheels on and noticed that the right rear sticks out a little further than the left, about 1/2 or 3/4 inch. It is noticeable by looking at the treads. Had it aligned today and the mechanic said everything is lined up good and everything is centered. I have a 2 1/2 level in front and 3 inch blocks in rear. Any ideas?

On the alignment spec sheet, what is your thrust angle? Have the wife drive the truck on a straight stretch of road, and follow it in another vehicle.... check for dog tracking.....
Those blocks you put in, were they machined perfectly flat on both sides, or was one side slightly angled? if it was angled, and the blocks are both put in wedged the same way, it would cause a lean over effect......
Have you had anyone else look at it from a distance and confirm that you are not crazy?
Where can you notice it? from the rear, from the front? looking down?
Pics from 20 yards back, and straight at it?

Blackout, please tell me that you got a copy of the alignment for your records? The old "but the guy who did the work said it is perfect" routine is not something i would ever believe. Even if the numbers on that sheet don't mean alot to you, those of us here who completely understand alignment geometry can tell alot by the numbers on that sheet.
Quite honestly, in theory, if the numbers were even all within spec, but at opposite ends of the tolerance, it could have adverse effects to its drive-ability.
I would call them and see if they keep a copy of the printout on file. If so, (and they should if nothing else to cover their own backside) I would ask for a photocopy of it.

I might add that the data 'belongs' to you - yer entitled to a copy - y'all paid for it.
