Default jeep pulls to the left while breaking.

Hey guys,

I put a day star leveling kit (Spacers) 1 3/4 front and 3/4 back, 1.5 inch wheel spacers and got a used set of mtr's (about %90) 285/75/16 and wheels criager 8's off my buddy. the pressure is at 35 lbs all around. while at hwy speed the alignment is good. but when I apply the brakes the jeep pulls to the left. The harder I break the worse it gets. I took the wheels off and hit the breaks with spray cleaner and it didn't help. Advice please?

I'd try that first and drop the psi to 30. Could be any number of things if that's not it. Start simple first.

If it does, move that tire to the rear.

It your tires are equal pressure, you may want to check your brake pads. If you recently did brake work... you may have air in one of your calipers. Try bleeding your brakes. Other problem could be your caliper going bad.

If it is your brakes... It would be your right brake that is going bad.
