who pulls to the right when braking

Was doing search to find out why my 90 v10 pulls to the right when braking. I located a few posts that state due to the sag and dive that occurs when braking that the steering design of our blazers will cause the truck to pull. When I install my 4" lift Im going to use a raised steering arm and dual stabilizers along with new rotors and calipers to hopefully cure this problem. So how other blazers out there pull to the right under braking and what did you do to (try and) fix it?

my 75 used to do that hard, and it was the left caliper locked up. I have heard of guys having the brake hoses collapse, but it has never happened to me. If you are going to lift it, get a set of the stanless braided brake hoses and that will be one less thing to worry about, and you will not have to worry about them being too short.

Do you have any slack in your steering?

Could be your steering gear box.

No slack in steering and had new rotors, pads, lines about 15 k milesa ago (by previous owner according to reciepts that came with truck) The strange thing is if I know I am going to break hard and turn the steering wheel slightly to left will brake totally straight. its like a suspension issue and not brake related causing the pull.

Sometimes bad wheel bearings will cause this. Might want to check them out.
