That is a back spacing issue with your factory rims, all the aftermarket UCAs have a suggested 4.5" back spacing on the rim for proper clearance which can be done by using a 1/2" wheel spacer.
Where can one source a 1/2" wheel spacer?

The 1-22-11 "Fox shox on a LC200" thread guy has same OME coils as I have. His "comfy" comments I guess now are directed at the FS coilovers and not the UCA's. After installation of my OME struts, coils, shocks and lift part of installation is to have front end re-aligned. It is common upon acceleration for the front to pull to the right. I guess it has something to do with the amount of up travel. As I understand it, and it may be a misunderstanding, with UCA's this issue will not occur. What I didn't know is if it would impact the ride. By the way TS21, I drive my 73 Chev. Vega wagon with a Thrush muffler and 230M miles on the aluminum block to Park Meadows. This is interesting.
The pulling started after the coil overs and rear springs were put on and I've had it aligned 3 times. I also did the upper A arms, total chaos.
The pulling is slight under moderate acceleration but becomes more severe with WOT.
Bump, someone has to know why I'm pulling to the right now on hard acceleration. Jumping has been fun though!
Had the same issue. The only solution is to install Total Chaos upper control arms on the front. Trust me, I tried everything else! Just get them and then take back to dealer or any shop and the alignment will pull in..
This is after I installed the OME lift, so if stock and pulling, that is another issue.
The pulling you are experiencing sounds like the typical torque steer exhibited by front wheel drive vehicles that put a lot of power to the ground through halfshafts that are running some big angles ... thus it makes some sense that you are feeling it after the lift given the power the 5.7 puts down and the full time 4wd. The 100 series cruisers can exhibit the same thing when you get the front end a bit too high.
