If I'm not mistaken, your axle usually shifts toward driver side (if not may have in your case) after installing a lift of 2.5" and up. Add your SS mounted the way it is (toward driver side) and add in the fact that a piston will always try to decompress, this very well may be your issue and a $0 fix...

I have a TF 4" full 8 arm kit installed here at home, running 37" Trail Grapplers and mine pulls left also. I have had it into Teraflex twice to have it aligned and everything is up to snuff, they think it has got to be a radial pull. And no I didn't swap out my SS, it's still stock. Thoughts? From what I have read, it seems everyone with a radial pull seems to pull right so why would it be any different for me? Not trying to steal the thread, but just putting input in from somebody else that pulls to the left.

Try it with none or the stock one. Since the solid mounting point is the axle housing itself, the gas charged SS is going to puch the tierod no matter which way its mounted.
