Phil/Paragon: Steering issue

you just answered your question, most likely. If your shocks are indeed set to a softer setting and you have some nose dive, weight transfer will cause more grip to one of those larger tires. It would indeed be opposite than acceleration on a road camber situation.

Phil's suggestion of finding a good street with nice camber on both sides and going the wrong way and trying it would be a big determiner.

Ummm........ I have no pull, whatsoever. Have never noticed it except on occasion after wheeling but it seems to settle out.

Torque steer on hard acceleration with both Phil and Ken's trucks would be understandable since the rear would set down lift the front some and you would be reaching the toe in point. But you would think that upon braking that it would have nothing to do with it since the steering components should be nearing horizontal alignment.

I'm betting with both Ken's and Phil's it has more to do with the shocks and the lift (coupled with the tires). Take out the nose dive where the truck doesn't shift weight as much and you wouldn't have as much pull. Just a thought.
