Jeep pulls to the drivers side

Something to try is swapping your front tires, driver side to passenger side and see if the left pull is still there. May not be related to the alignment but rather a "radial pull" from a tire. Mine did this and went away after switching fronts one side to the other.

Ok, what tires do you have? Directional tread?

measure everything do you have adjustable control arms? are they adjustable on the jeep? i had mine aligned once and the bolt on the evo control arm was loose and it turned itself in.. i measured control arms first make sure they are excactly the same... measure toe in and out.. if you have an adjustable trackbar check that your axle is centered.. if you have adjustable rear controlarms check those too.. that should eliminate 99% of your pulling issues. Love mechanics but some have no idea how to align a jeep when everything adjusts i have found that i can do a self alignment just as good lol.:beer::beer: http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-ups/basic-do-it-yourself-jeep-jk-wrangler-front-end-alignment

when you put the rubicon SS on did you adjust it or loosen the SS mounts when you did the install?
might check sure the SS is not pushing more than it needs to, loosen the SS tie rod mount, turn the wheels all the way to the right (may get a helper here) while the wheel it turned full right, compress the SS until about 1/4" or just a little more sticks out - you don't want it compressing all the way in. tighten the SS mount on the tie rod (make sure it's not rotated up) and then turn full left to check it's not overextending and test drive.
if it won't compress you have a bad SS

you've checked your axle alignment and it's centered front and rear?
I remember mine had a slight pull after installing my lift, drove me nuts and can't remember what I did to fix it.
you tightened all the control arm, track bar, bolts with the Jeep on the ground and gave it a good bounce on the bumper to shake any binds out?
steering wheel is centered?

I have a similar problem. Installed the lift, Jeep pulls left when I accelerate and if I engine brake (it's a manual), it pulls right. It goes dead straight when i coast or use the brakes.
I have a Fox steering damper, which I believe will usually make it pull left, but why does the direction change to right if I downshift or let off the gas?
Checked tire pressure, just had it aligned...here are the specs.
