Moved from a 2in spacer lift to the Westcott 1.5in lift and now the truck pulls to the left

    Did the Westcott Designs front/rear TRD preload lift (1.5in preload coil front 1in leaf spacer rear), also put on all new brakes including front calipers. The truck now pulls decently to the left while driving when I let go of the wheel, and then pulls harder when I brake (but not as noticeable on slower speeds). If I’m holding the wheel it doesn’t feel very noticeable but I do have to turn to the right a bit to maintain straight tracking.

    I’m also running 285/75/16 Nitto Ridge Graplers.

    Alignment specs from today are attached. I have Freedom Off-road UCAs.

    What should I look at next for trying to fix this? The off-road shop I went to that installed the parts did two alignments after it pulled from the first alignment. Any tips? Maybe brakes?

    My bet is on that left caliper not releasing fully bc its more noticeable while braking.

    I did get some powerstop calipers that I think are remanufactured so maybe they could be the issue. Probably worth it to bleed the brakes first and make sure nothing else is going on?

    Rotate tires side to side is next step.

    Not really, I encourage diagonal if possible, but its a pain at home.

    Some argue to only switch 2 at a time to see if it neutralizes the pull.
