Sounds like your truck doesn't like you...

You likely have something worn in the steering/suspension that is causing the problems, but one of those shops should have caught the problem if they were worth anything.

Have you tried wheel bearings sometimes they make a pull,dragging brake and i know you changed the front tires but there is still the back ones and then there is caster...have a good alignment shop,someone that is the best check the caster,because if the caster is high on one side and low on the the other a vehicle will pull to the leading wheel!!!!

The tire places should have found any bad suspension parts. You can check your balljoints by putting a jack under only the A -frame part of the suspension and jack it up off the floor. Then grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to wiggle it. If it moves, ball joints are bad.

I was gonna add also, if the steering is loose and has alot of slop in the wheel, check out the idler arm for play in addition to the ball joints like croozer said. It may need replacing to hold the alignment you just had.
