My only modifications:

- 2.0" TeraFlex front spacer lift
- 1.5" TeraFlex rear spacer lift
- TeraFlex front/rear bump stops
- 35" x 11" Trail Grapplers
- 17" x 8.5" Mopar wheels
- Longer Mopar front/rear sway links
- Longer Mopar front control arms

I've tried the following to fix the pull:

- Alignment
- Tire rotation
- Adjust tire pressure

It always pulls to the left. It's most noticable at highway speeds, but it is not the ridges in the road. I'm at a loss.

How are your axles as far as being out of center? Did you put this stuff on yourself? If not check the torque on those control arms. Did they give you a printout from your alignment? You need to get your axles centered and then make sure your caster is within reason. I'm guessing track bars are in your future.

Jeeps lots of jeeps
It could be a couple things:

Front axle shifted. An adjustable track bar will correct this.

Caster is too high on driver side

Drag link isn't properly adjusted/steering wheel off center.

Tire pull. I have seen a few posts of Ridge Grapplers pulling.

Do you have an alignment printout?

After you check all that above, check toe. If still haven’t figured it out, check steering stabilizer if it’s not working correctly it can affect the steering .

Welcome to the Trail grappler pull. Awesome tires but some of these heavy muds have a slight radial pull to them. Mine did the same thing in my JKs. It’s not horrible but annoying. Nothing ever helped. If you have checked everything else, that’s the culprit.
