Rechecked toe in, measurement from centerline of tire, 66 in rear, 65 3/4 in front. It pulled with 0 toe in.

I've had the same problem with the same tires. Drives straight and wheel is straight when holding the wheel, but when you let go, the Jeep drifts to the left. I went from the tereflex BB to OME LT kit, have had tires rotated, alignment done and still have the a slight pull to the left.
I just gave up on it and hold the steering wheel straight. Lol

You happen to have your alignment specs handy?

Your toe-in should be 1/8 to 1/4". Both axles should also be centered to the frame. When I have had slight pulling problems I was able to solve it by adjusting the track bar.

On my 3" lift I ran about +5.5 degrees caster. 4.2 is stock and you shouldn't run more than 6. A setting closer to stock will get you marginal drivability but good longevity. A higher setting will get you better drivability, but with the cost of shorter longevity.

Your steering wheel being off center will cause ESP problems. The ESP issues will be a bigger issue than a slight pull. You will need to adjust your steering wheel center after making adjustments to toe and when adjusting the track bar.

My current PSI is 35, Im going to experiment with psi and see if anything changes. Anybody have a recommendation on psi for these tires. Ive heard of toyos and nittos pulling. I wonder if psi is the culprit.
