Default Alignment problemd

So after the rough country lift, synergy tie rods & steering stabilizer and adjustable track bars I can't get the alignment to stick longer than a week or 2. Any suggestions? My alignment guy is even stumped.

You might try explaining that, it's a bit vague...

After a week or so it starts to pull to the right. The alignment will not hold

Is it pulling when letting go of the wheel or pulling when holding the wheel?
Is your steering stabilizer gas or hydro?

Need more details.

So you are saying that the actual alignment numbers, the caster and toe, are changing? The shop sets them to specific numbers, you go back a week later, and those numbers are different?

What are the alignment specs? Lifted? Adjustable control arms? What tires? What PSI? Have they been balanced/rotated? If rotated, does the pull stay the same? If you change psi, does it help?

How about starting off by post your alignment sheet?
what are you using to correct your caster angle?
