I drive a 1969 gmc 3/4 ton 4x4 lifted 8" on 37" mtrs.
When I'm cruzing on a flat paved surface with no ruts and I brake my truck pulls to the right unless I hold the wheel and correct it by steering to the left. It feels like a braking issue. I have recently within the last month replaced the calipers and pads. I also installed skyjacker steel braided lines all round. After bleeding the brakes mulitiple times and replacing the fluid I'm in need of help. Nothing has worked.

The issue seems to be worse traveling down hill. The wierd thing is if I let go of the steering wheel and brake hard the steering wheel turns counter clockwise but the truck veirs right. I first noticed the issue after installing the lift and braided lines.

I have a drop pitman arm and raised steering arm so my drag link is level. I got an alignment last week no change. the truck tracks fine.

Any advice would be helpfull. Please let me know.

Cheers
Clayton
Just a thought, when bleeding did you unbolt the caliper and lift it up higher than the frame? just another way to get all the air out of the lines..

That said i'm surprised to read that a number of people are experiencing this problem.
