I can't see any issues in the pictures. I know you said you had the front aligned already, but i would measure the toe-in to see where it's at. If the alignment shop used factory specs, you won't have enough toe-in. With your large tires I would aim for 3/16". I'm sure everyone is tired of me saying this, but increase your caster with angled shim blocks. The more caster you have, the better your truck will go down the road. (within reason) I have 6 1/2 degrees.

Edit; I just re-read your post and see you have a redhead box. If this is a fast ratio, that may cause some problems, IMO.
