Then they didnt do it properly. Have them set the camber and caster as well.

That is adjusted by the camber adjustment nuts (located where the balljoint is mounted). The stock adjustment nut is for 1 degree positive or negative, they have 2 and 3 degree bushings. You either need a new bushing or you're suspension is off somehow. Did you lift it? Do you have the correct axle pivot drop brackets?

GET AN ADD-A-LEAF for the front...your springs are sagging.

Yeah what cleatus said
Or you can get a set of diesel springs.
With the way the front end geometry works on these trucks when the springs sag you get lots of negative camber.
