After installing my lift, I replaced the front brake hoses, when I went to bleed the brakes I broke the bleeder off the right side caliper, I tried to replace the the bleeder but no luck so I just bought a new right side caliper since I've never had trouble with my brakes before, now when I brake it pulls to the left, could this be because I only replaced one side? I know this seams like a obvious question but I just want some reassurance that I'm not missing something

And both brake calipers were replaced three years ago

It sounds like you didn't get all of the air out of the new caliper.

I've been doing some reading and I thought of that, I have good pedal so I didn't think that was it but I'll try bleeding it again,

Well, it will pull to the side that slows down faster. So it sounds like the older caliper is doing more work. I would say air.
