Jeep pulls to the right even after alignment?
Ok I have a 2012 4 door sport, with teraflex leveling kit, rubi springs and shocks and AEV geometry correction brackets.
My jeeps alignment is very close to stock, but the left and right caster are to close to each other, I think this is why it pulls right. Is there anything I can do to correct this? As anyone else had this issue?

Adjustable front lower control arms is what I was told I needed to correct the problem. I ordered some from teraflex and they will be installed and jeep will be aligned again on Friday. The alignment place said they would make the pass side longer then the drivers side which should get the pull out. I have 2.5 inch teraflex coil lift with Tera flex trac bar and Tera flex steering stabilizer.

Just a thought, but maybe the brackets have over-corrected for the amount of lift you have from the leveling kit. I'm pretty sure the brackets are meant for 2.5"+ lift. Not sure if that's possible, just thinking...

the brackets are fine, they are with in the measurement aev calls for. Fine under breaking just when driving, its not a huge pull but it wants to go right when you dont hold the wheel.

Not sure if this is the first 'Jeep' like vehicle you've ever had, but you may just be noticing it more now.
Take your friends fancy car for a drive and take you hands off the wheel, see what happens.

Do you drive with no hands often?
I know what you mean though. What are your caster measurements? Is your toe in adjusted correctly? Have your checked your tire pressures? Just some ideas...

The crown of the road is usually to the right which will worsen the effect I'm sure. Another thing to think of is a crosswind. I work at an airport and I'm cognizant of the wind, there are days when I drive to work arrow straight and then on the way home I get pushed to the right thanks to a stiff wind. If you still get the pull without a crown or wind try checking the centering of the axles, check your track arm and lca bolts. Is the steering wheel centered?
