My Mobile Mechanic :
I’ve done 100s of times. The string needs to be attached to the rear tire.

the string method is to get you close so you can drive it to get a proper alignment

A sting "alignment" can only adjust toe. You lifted your unit so you now need camber and castor changed.

put the front tires on cookie sheets so they can slide while adjusting

If you put two sheets of steel with oil or grease sandwiched in them Under each front tire that works a little better.

Works fine. Do it all the time. You need cardboard under tires so they move freely

You have to square string off the frame to get it truly aligned. Then you square the rear to the frame and then last is the front end squared off the rear. It is called a thrust alignment. Steering wheel needs to be locked down when adjusting the toe. I would suggest around 1/8” toe in for street vehicles up to a 1/4” for heavy trucks. Good luck!💯

it's not for the average Joe. I have done it numerous times and had a handful checked by the front end shop all within specs. you'll need string, turn plates, spirit level ,measuring device straight edge and hardest part understanding how front suspension geometry works .(much easier to get it done.)

Jeffrey :
setting the toe will not fix a pull or drift caused by caster/camber.

I have watched the lotus race engineers do this for track days.

you need to adjust Camber and Castor. you lifted it and you changed. those angles has nothing to do with tow. you will have to set toe when you're done but you need to start with cambercaster then too

check your caster

pulling is caused by caster.

Camber and caster adjustments are absolutely necessary on those trucks

It does work, but changing the geometry of the suspension means you have to align all the components before you get to the wheels.

Measure the inside of the tire on the back and inside the tire on the front , make sure that the same distance

string alignment works perfectly fine, use it all the time, my tires have no caster or camber adjustments though, that's a whole different beast

Sounds like the issue here has more to do with the lift he put on the truck

It gets you in the ballpark on toe, it can be pretty accurate. But there’s way more to it than just toe

It’s a foolproof method I’ve used 100’s of times

Tape maesure inside to inside front and back of wheels from wheel to wheel should match
