After 2 months, I finally got to the root of why my recently lifted jlur was pulling. It is a bad tire.

A friend and I spent days checking and straightening the Metalcloak lift to perfection. It was indeed crooked as hell. The pull settled down to a mild but annoying left pull.

Finally I put the OEM tires back on. Pull vanished.

How do you determine which tire is bad ? Got 5, trial and error?

I put the 37 rears back on. No pull.

Then the front 37 tires. Pulling back. I figured the left tire was the most likely to cause the left pull. So, I put the spare on the left front. Pull gone.
