You could have a bad alignment and not experience pulling. For instance, too much inward toe will not result in pull. You may actually track better with extra in-toe. But it'll definitely wear your tires edges faster.

That's why I say do the torsion bars RIGHT NOW and drive it a bit especially on some rougher stuff even if it's only 10 miles. It's too easy to not do yourself. After I did mine earlier this week, I shook the truck around and then measured. Driver and passenger sides were level. After driving about 20 miles, passenger side is now sitting about .25 inches higher than driver side. I wouldn't think this would cause significant alignment issues, but better safe than sorry. Tires are expensive. If you do this, then you won't have to wonder whether they settled after the shop does it.
