Suspension issues with plow on

Just installed new Fisher 8' HDX on my 2021 2500 Big Horn.
When the plow is attached, the steering wheel is cocked to the right (about 1 o'clock) and it pulls off the road. When the plow is detached, it returns to normal.

I took it back to the Fisher dealer and they inspected the install and said it's as it should be.
I took it to the Ram dealer, they inspected the front end and said all is as it should be.

What the heck?
Any thoughts?
 
Alignment or track bar.

If the caster adjustments are too far off from each other, it will do weird stuff like this.

Align to Thuren specs. Read the whitepaper.

Since the 2WD also uses a solid front axle, would the Thuren specs apply?

Thats from the drag link and track bar being at a different angle when the plow is up, put your ballast weight in the bed it will help this issue… do you have the hd plow pkg or snow chief pkg?

I did buy with plow package. However, I don't beleive the package makes any suspension changes? Ever heard of doing an alignment with the plow on?

No because thats what ballast weight is for, with that setup you should have 410lbs in the back 9” of the box by the tailgate… that should keep the front end drop down
