brake issues on a 4x4 blazer

okay guys I have an 84 blazer 4x4 all stock. when I hit the brakes normally to a stop, they act and function as normal but when I hit the brakes hard or even kind of hard,my truck pulls to the right like my caliper on the right front is engaging harder than the one on the left. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Check the pad wear and see if both sides are worn evenly.

You might also check your tie rods and all your bushings. My k2500 pulls to one side under heavy braking because my front end is worked over.

Check the left front brake hose, they pull opposite side when they collapse.

And caster. Uneven caster left-right can cause a pull under braking.
