I finally got my truck out since its been sitting for a couple of months. So I went out for a cruise and when I get on the thing it pulls real hard to the passenger side. Just wondering if anyone might any suggestions on what could be causing this? This is also in 4 wheel drive. I cant drive in 2 yet roads are to snowy.
 
Your ball joints are f-ed. That's the side that sees the worst of the worst. Just a guess. Also check for packed snow underneath your truck. But I'd bet you got ball joints shot and its fu-cking around with your caster.
 
Tires are all the same size they are 285 terra grapplers. Ball joints were new 14 months ago and have only put on 4000 miles since then. I did some measuring on it and drivers side sits around 1 inch to 1 1/2 lower than passenger side. It does have more weight on drivers side though. Due to Battery (which I only have one now), steering box and shaft, fuel tank, and then me when I'm in it. So I dont know if all the extra weight on one side is throwing it off or what.

What ball joints you put in? And that extra weight should make your truck do that.

Check your brakes like mentioned.
