Default dyi alignment

Ok, I'm new here but I've had my blazer for a while. I have a 98 s10 4x4 with 2" body lift and 2 1/2 suspension. I'm running on 30" bfg ko's. The alignment is set to 0° camber and 1° tow in. It doesn't feel right, pulls to the left, etc. Why is it supposed to be set to, suggestions?

I do mine myself and do 0 camber and go with the front of the tires in 3/8s of an inch.

If it's pulling to either side (and you swear you have the alignment even) you may want to check your tie rod ends, ball joints, pitman arm, idler arm etc. Make sure there's no wiggle room or play.

Everything may look straight when the truck is parked, but at speed stresses are applied to all of these parts, which will cause them to move around.
