    So, I am starting to wonder if what I am experiencing with the pull to the left isn't normal?

    Let me explain.

    I put the lift on this truck immediately I did not have to slam on the brakes at high speed in the 50 miles I drove it prior to the lift. Prior to this, I have never driven a truck that did not have leaf springs in the back.

    My truck has rear air suspension.

    But same principle would apply with the trucks with rear coil springs.

    They still have a track bar. Anyways, I am wondering if when you brake, the inertia makes you nose dive, and essentially lifts or takes weight off the rear, causing lift in the rear and thus the rear track bar to pull the rear axle to the right (and front of truck left).

    When I brake the truck just kind of "floats" left.

    The steering wheel does not move (Its not front brakes). Here is what I have done:

    I aligned the truck. I retightened all bolts, track bar on front and rear, etc.

    I also bled the brake lines on all 4 wheels.

    When I brake, the steering will does not turn.

    I have had stuck calipers before and weak/kinked brake lines in the front.

    When that happens, the steering wheel usually fights you when the you brake.

    That is not the case here.

    When I brake hard at speed it is like the truck just drifts left, almost from the rear going right.

    Had I tested all of this before the lift, or had to brake hard on the highway before the lift, I would have known if what I am experiencing is normal or not.

    Hope this all makes sense.

    Thanks for any input!
    Rotate the tires and see if it keeps pulling.

    Also, did you put an actual torque wrench on the track bar?

    I actually never did anything.

    The truck only pulls if I really really have to slam on the brakes, as if in an emergency.

    I looked like a fool going down the road testing.

    I tightened all bolts, track bar, checked all lines, etc.

    It's not a caliper sticking because the steering wheel doesn't pull.

    I ended up just driving the truck, as I have spent more time 'jackin' with it than driving it. She drives great!

    Re: 2021 RAM 2500 Limited With Carli Lift / Brake Pull

    Toyo tires are known to have a slight left radial pull that can be exaggerated under braking, but the new AT3 I don’t know about if it naturally pulls left or right.

    My question is, why did you use a Thuren King steering shock with a Carli lift?

    The two lift companies run different pressures in their steering shocks.

    Carli runs almost 175 psi and Thuren around 100 psi if I remember correctly.

    You may need the Carli steering shock with a higher PSI.

    The low Mount factory location of the steering shock with a Carli IFP nitrogen shock charged to the correct pressure fights a natural left radial tire pull.

    You may just not be getting enough force from the Thuren steering shock.

    I still can’t understand why you would go with Don’s steering shock with Carli's suspension.

    When I first put on my Carli 3" inch lift, I encountered the same thing under hard acceleration and breaking.

    It went away after the lift settled in on the truck after about a month.

    I would bet that's what you're experiencing.
