Default Left Pull when braking ('04 Z71 Extended Cab 5.3L)

Hello everyone. Glad to have found this place. I'm sure the wealth of knowledge and experience in here will help me find a solution to my current situation.

I have a 2004 Silverado Z71 Extended Cab. I had some suspension issues when my son came back with the truck. Once I fixed what I thought was the problem, shocks, that's when I began the adventure I have been on.

The issue I'm having is whenever I brake the truck pulls hard to the left at any speed above 5 mph. I started with the obvious to me, brake pads and rotors. That did not work. Following is what I have done, I've pretty much replaced the entire front end when it comes to some steering, most braking, and most suspension parts. (Pitman arm, idler arm, sway bar links, upper and lower ball joints, both upper control arms, CV axle both sides, wheel bearings, hub/rotors both sides, cam brackets, shocks, brake pads, and inner and outer tie rods)

Lastly I bought 4 new tires, had the ride height adjusted back to specs since my son decided to jack up the torsion keys, and got 4 wheel alignment at a local off-road specific shop I trust. As of last night everything I listed is brand new or been replaced within the last 2 months.

My son is a student right now at NASCAR Tech in Mooresville, NC. He took the truck back with him and was gonna ask for help. The only thing I didn't do was the brake hoses and lines. I figured if I bled them and the fluid was coming out clean and free of any air bubbles they were fine.

I have taken it to various shops throughout this process for diagnostics. Luckily they were all great and didn't charge me much or at all for their time. I took their diagnostics and did whatever work I could myself and what I couldn't, due to lack of proper tools, I took to a shop. Have a great day and thanks ahead for any thoughts and ideas. Semper Fi!
