Pulling to the right after fitting 3" lift was created by GWR

Hi guys. I though I would pick your brains. I have an 04 Jimny and have just fitted a pro comp 3" lift with the adjustable panhard rod rods, steering damper and caster correction bushes. Now my question is why is it now pulling to the right? Could it be the axel alignment? Or maybe my tracking? Any ideas?

Could be both check your axel is align center then check your track rod ends make shore he bushes are in correct and get the tacking checked

You need to adjust your steering arm due to the extra drop. This is the distance from the pitman arm to the nearside hub.lift makes no difference to the tracking.

I checked and adjusted the panhard rods again then adjusted the steering arm and now my steering wheel is straight and the steering is much better, only a very slight pull to the right
