    lifted patrol pulling left whel letting go of wheel

    hi
    had a previous post about this but things have changed
    http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...-caster-bushes

    so i brought the car with a lift its a 2008 gu wagon crd 200,000km
    as it is now it has what looks like efs branded could i assumed 2"but i measures my ride height against a stock patrol , (from center of hub to flare) and mine is 3"higher
    5mm (rubber )spacer on rear coils and 15mm (polly superpro) spacers in the front
    adjustable drag link
    tough dog rtc dampener
    tough dog 41mm 9 way adjustable shockes set to #4
    40psi in all tyres
    running 285/65r17 toyo open country AT 2's stock nissan alloy rims
    new front tyres and rear tyyre about 12-18 month with 10,000-15,000km on them
    wheel alignment was done December 2018 camber looks good see old thread for screenshot.
    caster was 0 so i fitted 2 degree bushes and made no difference.
    i thought i have a 2"lift but now i think its higher.. i like the look of it and im not lowering it lol.
    so i know that its probably still not got enough caster and i dont see the point spending $100 on wheel alignment


    my issue that i want solved is that the car pulls to the left when i let go of the wheel.
    its mainly a daily driver i dont go off roading much bu would like to start.

    when im driving i hold the wheel straight and i drive straign i let go and the wheel steers left and i go left
    i have a 1999 triton and it drives same roads and drives straigh when letting go of the wheel so i dont want to say its the roads.
    the issue is that i have a constant need to pull down with my right arm on the wheel to keep it straight and as soon as i let go it pulls left.

    question is im thinking drop boxes are the answer, alot of people here swear by them. and to me i can see a down side to having them.
    pro's are
    * returning arms to more normal angles
    * diff moves forward
    * might fix the pulling left
    * should fix camber closer to the factory specs

    cons:
    * illeagal in qld ?
    * money and time
    *possible too much caster and that could cause ??? not sure

    can anyone say they fixed a pulling left issue with caster correction?
    can anyone say that drop boxes fix pulling?
