You shackle might be a little to long and check you toe angel you could probably bring it in some.

Do you have castor correction shims? If you have 2.5" extended shackles, you need them. They fit in between the axle and springs. The fat side goes forward. A 4* castor shim should fix you up. Lots of guys on here say go with a steel shim. Unfortunately, most places sell aluminum shims:

CCOT - http://coolfj40.stores.yahoo.net/shimsspring.html
SOR - http://www.sor.com/sor/cat287.tam?xax=25813&page.ctx=cat287.tam

There are others, but this gives you the idea.

Good luck!

Could you post a closer pic of your shackle angle on the front, I can't quite tell but in your pic it looks like your front shackles might be verticle which would effect your steering feel alot. If your alignment shop told you there's no way to fix something/anything, they just aren't trying hard enough(lazy), try finding another shop.
Good luck

I have almost the same setup as you. But I am waiting to install my OME kit. Anyways I had the same problem... I got the 4 degree shims, (steel ones) and it drives sooo much better. DOOO it!!!
