Default Brakes Pulling right when applied.

Seems over the past year things have gotten a little worse. Had all new pads and rotors and when I apply brakes car pulls to the right. Now for the main reason for this post. I had a front end alignment done at a local TIRE store. Only place I could get it in. They said all went well but they were unable to free one bolt, I think camber but I don't know. If they could not get all bolts loose #1 did they do an alignment and #2 could just a bad alignment cause pulling when break applied. All tire pressure is correct and tires have been balanced twice with no problems reported. Oh and I did scrap the air ride for the bilstien 5100 conversion as described on many posts and sites. Where do I start?

Check front calipers for frozen/seized pistons, if one pad is worn and the other isn't then it's easy to spot. Very common issue on these trucks.

I would suspect frozen caliper as well.
