Question after track bar replacement
Truck is a stock except for aftermarket shocks '15 F350. I put a Ford stock replacement bar on and now the truck pulls to the driver side, steering wheel goes to the left as well. Is it normal to have to get an alignment after replacing the track bar?

If the track bar is a different length from the one you replaced, that might affect the position of the steering wheel when the wheels are straight. But that should not cause the truck to pull to one side. I think there's something else going on there...

Track bar replacement shouldn't have affected your alignment but maybe. ?
Since you say it's "pulling", it's not your steering wheel alignment (drag link). I'd have my alignment checked. I'd be looking at the Toe, but more importantly Caster. If you have different caster angles between left to right your truck will pull one way or the other. But again, changing the track bar shouldn't have affected your caster angles. Strange.
