Pulls right while braking

just as the title says I'm getting a good pull to the right when braking. Little background, truck has 155k, rotors and pads replaced 10 days ago, new tires today.
Now with the new tires the pull is more pronounced than with the old tires but has been there, which I thought was just worn out rubber, apparently not.
All caliper pins are greased and moving freely, and for kicks I replaced left pins to see if some how they were fouling up, they weren't, still pulling.
So my question after searching is maybe the last two culprits are bad caliper or bad hose?
I just wanted to bounce this off the board and see if I am on the right track to fix this issue.

Did you flush the fluid when you did the brakes?

Sounds like a sticking caliper.

Mine did the same thing. It was a stuck caliper. I just drove it for a few months, not knowing what was wrong with it. Eventually, it got so bad that I noticed one wheel getting a LOT dirtier than the other one up front. That was my (!) moment.

New hoses, calipers, caliper brackets, pads and rotors fixed it all right up! For you, I'd say start with calipers. But I was ambitious and just redid the whole system up front.

Good thing was that it wound up fixing my 4wd in the process! New hoses came with new 4wd vaccuum lines and suddenly no more getting out to lock the hubs!

ALSO, if you're pulling right, that means your left is the one locking up. ...I think. What happens is the stronger/working caliper engages and it pulls the vehicle in that direction.
