Default Montero SR pulling to the right

My 95 SR has always seemed to be pulling to the right slightly. I have tried a bunch of stuff and it happens no matter what. I thought the new tires and alignment would do it, but no dice.

I have had 2 different sets of wheels and tires on it and no matter the arrangement, she pulls right. I got new tires (33 x 10.5, love them) on the factory 15 x 7's , then torsion crank and the alignment done (camber and tow)...still pulling right.

Rotors are in good shape, I got the front and rear brake pads changed right after I got the truck. Pulling before the swap, pulled after. It pulls regardless if I am on or off the brakes. Braking does not make it change.

Have you checked your linkages for wear.. or tire pressure..etc.
Are the tire patterns same for both front tires?
I would suggest if all above is ok, then do a complete bleed of the brake system.

Linkages look good, I've tried all different tire pressure combos, always pulls right, unless I seriously underinflate the front left tire lol. The tires are brand new bf at ko's all around. I'm going to try the brake bleed, good idea.

Default No difference - Brake flush, tire balance, alignment, rotation

Ok so I am pretty friendly with the tire shop where I got my new tires and told them about my pulling problem. I had them flush the brake lines while there.... which made my pedal feel better but the truck was still pulling to the right. They rebalanced all 4 tires for me and checked the alignment (still good). I suggested a radial pull (for S & G's), so they tried a right to left rotation.....still pulls right.

Anybody have any other suggestions?

Just to review what I've done:
4 brand new bf goodrich a/t tires balanced with pressures ok - left to right swap=no change, alignment checked twice, new brake fluid, rotors & pads in good shape, new Mitsu fluids in diff's and transfer case.

What should I try next?
