Recently got my truck aligned. The day after, while i was turning my
wheel all the way to one side, backing up, heard a loud pop come from
the front end.  Instantly the truck wasnt aligned anymore and now
everytime i turn my wheel all the way in one direction i hear a loud
grinding sound coming from my front end.  Had it aligned two more
times, but every time the same thing happens.  Any info would be
greatly appreciated.

Check lower and upper ball joints for play

COMPLAIN to the alignment facility.

Make them fix it.
If it wasn't broken before they fixed it, they broke it fixing it !!!!

anywhooooo......
   As to the pop sound AFTER the alignment, My first guess
would be that the controll arm bolts are loose enough to let th e
arm move a bit during extreme steering to stop.

 As to the grinding sound......my first guess would be inner fender
well hitting the tires.  Second guess would be dust shields on the
brake rotors.
