I'll do a search to see if I can find it. I'm running around 28 psi. I dropped the front left a tad to see if it would help till I found a solution. It hasn't helped.
Thanks.
My old I Pad won't let post that link, but I think if you google mounting tires on ATX Slab Bead locks
It should pop up. From Mel with off Road Evolution . It was on you tube I believe....

nautique210, have tried swapping the left front tire with right front to see if the pull moves to the right? A road force balancer will detech a tire pull so you could find a shop that has one to diagnosis the pull.

Good video. After watching it I have the flat squared edge out and the triangle edge in just like he does in the video. Guess that's not my problem but I appreciate the help.

Yes I've tried rotating the wheels around. No luck. When I ordered the rim/tire combo it came mounted and balanced. Maybe wouldn't hurt to get them re done?

yeah, just the teraflex budget boost with shock extensions. Would low caster cause a pull to the left????
