Default Installed Rock Krawler 3.5, pulls to the left

The kit is the basic 3.5 entry level, all it is really is springs, front track bar and rear track bar bracket. I re centered the wheel and after indexing the steering wheel the vehicle still pulls to the left. Any suggestions?

I have a different lift but had the same problem. Mine was the front track bar bracket. I removed it and had it aligned and it is perfect now. It was weird, it pulled to the left when accellerating and pulled to the right while braking (or the other way around, don't really remember now lol). You might just need to have an alignment done.

Mine is just a steady tendency to the left. It's not terrible, I have the track bar instead of the bracket in the front however a bracket in the rear.

Sounds like it's just an alignment issue then.

The DIY alignment write-up has the steps you'll need for checking the toe. Try that yourself before you pay for an alignment.

Have you considered a set of adjustable front control arms?

I will give that a try, also the control arms will go on later.
