I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down this problem - will take both truck & trailer in to be looked at.

This weekend, when I braked at 40+ miles per hour, if I was braking harder like going down a hill the truck pulled to the left (this is a new development) - maybe it was more that the back end was going right a bit?  Pulling BP 2H with one horse on left with 93 F250.  I tried to recreate it with the truck alone and felt a little bit of it when I braked hard on a dirt road - couldn't feel it on pavement at all.  I assume it's possible that the trailer could be accentuating the behavior?

Thanks for any thoughts.
