Question F250 leveling kit (alignment issue)

I just installed a 2 1/2" leveling kit on my 2005 F250 deisel 4x4. Looks great with my new BFG 285/70/17 mud tires..., HOWEVER...
After installing the kit, my truck pulled very slightly to the left so I took it to the most reputable local Alignment Shop. First attempt, they over-corrected and then it pulled right. Then they replaced one of the cambers and now it pulls left (worse than before).
The shop was using high tech equipment (lasers, computer readings, etc), but couldn't seem to get it right.
According to the shop, all the measurements are "perfect," but it still pulls to the left. I think it's still a problem with the cambers.
Can anyone recommend a specific Camber Kit to resolve this problem, or any other suggestions...???

Could be pull in the tires, I have seen that many times, especially since I have worked in tire shops for about 6 years.

Question

I've spoken to several knowledgeable mechanics who really believe my problem is due to the cambers. Does anyone know where I can get a good Camber Kit for my truck?I've heard Pro Comp makes a great set, but I can't find them anywhere.

One more question...
Are the cambers adjustable, or do I need to order certain sizes...???
