Pulls to the right after alignment x2

I lowered my beast on stock bolts, cut the rears. The car tracked perfectly. But, since we are all warned that an alignment is necessary, I got the alignment done. after the alignment the car pulled to the right. Took it back for a redo. still pulls to the right, just not quite as bad. also seems to follow uneven ruts in the road as well.
Any suggestions?

Where did you get the alignment done? Sounds like you have more negative camber on the left front than the right front.

When was the last time the alignment rack was calibrated. Did the tech use the GM alignment specs or some other specs.

Sounds more like a toe or caster problem.

Caster

Did alignments for many years. Without seeing the spec sheet, sounds like a caster problem. I always added 1/2 degree more caster to the right front wheel to compensate for some road crown.

That is providing the front tires dont have any conicity issues.
