Hey guys,
We recently bought a 2009 JK unlimited did the 4 inch lift from 4wdhardware.com and 33X12.50 tires. Now ours pulls to the left. Ran all the traps that you have talked about in this thread and still cannot find the problem. I added an adjustable front track bar and have both axles square under the Jeep. Still getting the pull to the left. Seems to be more of a drift than a pull, but is worse at highway speeds, than at slower speeds. The problem doesn't seem to be in my brakes either, as the issue is not worse under braking.
If anybody figures this out, I'll be the first one to buy them an adult beverage of their choice!!!!

I don't see how you can lift the Jeep by 2.5" or more and not have to recenter the steering wheel to some degree. The geometry of the front end components has been changed substantially. I would confirm that your steering wheel and axles are properly centered along with equal air pressure in all tires.

We did recenter the steering wheel, and all the air pressure is within a pound or two of each other. We have done everything previously talked about in this thread. Still have the pull or drift to the left.

Update
well, I seem to have the coolest dealer ever. not only did they turn down my tpms for free, but they are putting in adjustable upper ball joints under warranty!!!!!!! They cant find whats causing my pull either, but say the the camber is off so they will install these factory adjustable ball joints to correct the problem. I specifically had them look at the axle c's and they say they aren't bent. The parts will go in on friday, I have high hopes that this will finally work. I told the service manager that I was buying him and the mechanics beer for taking such great care of me when they could have easily said " you must have messed it up with the lift, it's not covered".
I'll let everyone know if it works.
