He suggested I look into installing longer bolts and an offset shaft. Has anyone else come across this or know where I can get an offset shaft? Are the bolts anything special or would I be able to get some longer grade 8 bolts at a hardware store? I just got new tires so I want to get this corrected sooner than later. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, they make longer upper a-arm studs. Your alignment guy should have been able to get them for you (or tell you where you can get them in your area). I don't know about the offset shafts for trucks. I know they make them for cars, I'm just not sure about trucks.

But . . .... w/a 2.5" spindle & 1.5" drop coil, you shouldn't have any issues getting that aligned. Something on the frame is possibly out of whack, or.... the alignment guy is .

I used a drop spindle & cut 1 coil off (which is 2 ~3" of drop including sag from age) & my alignment didn't require longer studs or offset shafts.
