Ok do you have, a lift kit and caster correction, also get an alignment by a good shop and start there. JMHO
BEFORE you do an alignment, make SURE your tire pressures, wheel bearings, trunnions, and tie rods are within spec. Otherwise, you're pissing away money. An alignment MAY identify out-of spec trailing arm or track bar bushings.

Tire pressures are all good. Will check wheel bearings and TREs. Read about Landtanks's procedure for checking trunnions but I'm not sure that will do me much good as I won't know what the hell to feel for so I'll probably just rely on updated camber measurements from an alignment check.
No lift or caster correction. Only 1" coil spacers at the moment. As I stated before, not putting my lift on until I get this sorted out.
Fixing Front Wheel Bearing Preload
Otherwise, go to upper right and do a search for "wheel bearing" and for Tools R Us for the username and you'll get a whole list of his stuff. Then it's just down to reading it. It is worth reading even the older stuff so you understand what he did to come to that conclusion.

Update:
After work, I took advantage of today's rain and did some good ol' fashioned locking-up-the-brakes on some wet roads and a couple of large dirt shoulders. I was able to really activate the ABS.
The GOOD NEWS is that my brake pull is gone. And the brakes feel much better. I still haven't done another bleed yet (it's raining + I also have a new master cylinder to install) but at least it looks like, thanks to @BILT4ME 's suggestion here and @NLXTACY 's similar suggestion on Facebook, I've been able to get to the bottom of this. Thanks guys!
