85 k5 with 6" lift and 36 inch groundhawg 2 radials. every since i have owned the truck it seems like when i have to smash the brake it pulls really hard to the right. p.o. said all break lines were new and i have replaced pads front to back. tried messing with tire pressures and it didnt matter if i had 35 of 25 so i run 25 to soften the ride some. any ideas? i put the lift on and checked all nuts and bolt and ubolts steering damper is new. new draglink and new raised steering arm aswell as new tierod ends...im at a loss for ight now. any help or insight would be appreciated.
 
Do you have any steering correction like a raised steering arm or dropped pitman arm?
There have been several discussions on here about that and the consensus is that it's due to the push/pull steering design. There use to be a video on youtube that showed a brand new K5 being test driven by Car and Driver (I think that's who it was) that did the same thing, but that's been removed from their site. The best way to solve your problem is by going to crossover steering.
 
yea i have a raised steering arm. i just really wanted to keep my swaybar and from what i understand i loose that if i wanted crossover
