JK pulling to right after lift/tires...help!!
i had the rancho sport lift installed monday, resulting in a slight pull to the right but nothing major. i had toyo 35s put on yesterday and now the pull to the right is more exaggerated and almost to the point of annoying. i have been reading alot and seems others have had the toyos pull right also. any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Get a trackbar to recenter your front axle and/or get adjustable lower control arms to adjust your caster. From reading other posts, adjustable lower control arms seem to be the most helpful in fixing this pull to the right.

pretty normal for being lifted and adding big meats, especially MTs. Adding front LCA's and front adjustable trackbar helped my rig alot on the road, steering is less "darty" and the front end feels much better over bumps.

i was looking at getting lower control arms as i've read they might help. i am new to this and may let it ride for a month or so and see if i get used to it. i think it would bug me a little less if i would just recenter my steering wheel. do the lower control arms combat the radial pull?

My JKU drifted to the right when new. After the 3" lift and MTRs it became a pull to the right. Axle was centered, Castor @ 4.5*, and nothing changed. After installing upper and lower adjustable CAs, I pushed the right side of the front axle about 1/2" forward and that took care of most of the pull. After I added PSC steering assist, the pull is completely gone. The hydraulic ram is enough to hold the line. The Jeep now handles better than when new.

if your pull is to the right. and your axles are centered. i would look into a fox steering stabilizer with tom wood's relocation bracket.
mine pulled right. added the ss and told the shop to drop down the psi in their fox ss to 50 and the pull is gone for 100%

LOL!! before you spend a dime, find someone with a set of BFG MT's or AT's and ask to try them out. just take your jeep around the block or just long enough to see if it makes a difference. i can almost guarantee that it will and that spending money on all this extra stuff won't make a difference. with toyo's, a slight pull to the right is totally normal.
