Is the pull only when you are engaged in 4wd?

Are your tires all the same size and properly inflated?

There is a slight pull to the right when not engaged, barely noticable, but present. I actually noticed this with the 4x4 engaged, before it appeared in the 2wd mode.

Tires are all the same size and properly inflated.

I did just notice the shock on the front right side appears to be leaking and possibly failing, could this be causing the issue?

Its doubtful that the shock is the cause. They don't support the truck, just dampen the suspension so you don't bounce all over the place.

When was the last time the alignment was checked?

It's probably been a while .. I'm having some sloppy steering issues now too, I may end up replacing some of the front end and have not wanted to do the alignment just yet...

I just purchased this truck in march, I believe it had been left sitting for a while.
