Default Pulls Left - Alignment

New here, hi folks!

When I got my 2016 jku (stock) a few months back and went for an alignment they had to install a camber shim in the front driver side and all was good.


Fast forward 2 months I decided to add 2.5” spring lift, 35x12.5x17 nitto trail grapplers, and front lower adjustable control arms to correct caster.

Now my front left camber is out of spec. They recommend adjustable ball joints. *
sigh* wishing shims were stackable lol :/

Below are my alignment specs. Why would it be pulling left?? I thought it should pull to the most positive camber (less negative) side?

26psi in all 4 tires.

It sounds like radial pull. Trail Grapplers pull to the left. It is a known issue. I ran a set on my last JK and honestly just got used to it. I believe it is just due to the tread pattern.

As noted some tires pull.. due to tread design, road Crown, etc.. check out this site: https://www.agcoauto.com/content/news/p2_articleid/176

I ran TrailGrapplers for ~45k miles. I don't recall ever having a pulling issue with them, but that's just one person's experience. So many variables from jeep to jeep. I really liked those tires. I moved to Toyo Open Country MTs, and thinking I might go back to the NIttos after these.....but that is years down the road based on my use.

Why did they had to add one camber shim in your driver side?
I'd think is pulling to the left because your camber is more negative where the shim is.

Mine pulls left slightly and that was after I rotated the tires. May go from left to right now. I would like it to pull right if it must pull.
