Hard pull to the left when braking
Hi Guys
I've been having an issue when I apply brakes my truck does a hard left turn, if I let to wheel go it will do a complete 180. I just changed out my calipers with new ones, changed my tie rods inner and outer and my lower ball joints. Still have the same issue.
Not sure what else it could be, any ideas?

It would be drivers side, the direction of the pull, if it is the brake line.
When you press on the brake pedal the fluid goes into the caliper clamping the brake pad on the rotor, when you let up on the pedal the fluid should flow back out so less pressure on the pads, if fluid can't flow back then pads stay clamped until enough fluid is released.
If it was a front ABS problem then it would be passenger side wheel speed sensor at fault, if it pulled left, but you would feel an ABS pulsing, which you didn't mention and is noticeable.
If passenger side ABS wheel sensor shows the right wheel is locking up(when it isn't) then it releases pressure at that caliper, the pulsing you would feel at the pedal, so only the drivers side brakes would be working and it would pull to the left.
If the "rubber" hose inside the flexible line has collapsed then no, no way to fix that.
You could remove the flexible lines on both sides and swap them, see if the problem moves to the passenger side.
Diagnosing a problem on a forum is always "best guess", lol.
