Default Drift/pull to the left
Only changed two things. Replaced tie rod with RK tie rod, and got new tires, Nitto trail grapplers 35 1250. Now I have a drift/pull to the left? Is this just the tires? PSI same all around.

steering wheel is straight? idk if you upgraded to bigger tires when you went to 35s. might have affected steering wheel. doubt it. but chance of it.
I thought radial tire pull was something of the past? Went from 35mtrs to these.

I'm guessing that you already checked your toe-in and your track bar adjustments.

Set my toe with the new tie rod. My axles are slightly off centered but I guess have been for 3 years with no issues. I guess I never accounted for spring settling.

I would rotate the tires to front to rear and see if it goes away if not recheck your alignment.

Im going to rotate the tires. Strange, these are brand new. I had no pull with my previous 35s.

Air pressure is the same in each tire ? Lower air pressure in one will cause it to pull also.

Can steering wheel off center cause a pull?

Im have the exact same problem. Exact same tires. Put on the TeraFlex BB and got the alignment done - I'm going to swap out tires this afternoon.
