Default Brakes

Hi everyone, I bought my 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 v8 about 9 months ago, The first thing I did was the brakes needed to be done so I did all new calipers, pads, and rotors in the front. I also had a shop do the right front brake line. But it pulls aggressively to the right when I brake and well i'm stuck. I did notice my back right brake line was chewed up and i'll be fixing that soon, could that be the problem?

Usually, when a when a vehicle pulls to the side during braking, it indicates a bad brake hose. When a brake hose gets older, it comes apart on the inside and can prevent the fluid from returning. This can also make the front rotor turn blue from excessive heat. The brake shop should have replaced both hoses. I would suggest returning to that brake shop, there might be other issues also.
