How's your alignment?
Rotors could be a cause but I'd put my money on your alignment.

If you mean, it wants to go right a tiny bit... all toyota do that, or at lest all of the ones I have owned. I would alway have to turn the weel a tad to the left... on real nice smooth roads, for the most part it drives strait

I'll second the alignment.... guess its possible its a stuck caliper if its only occuring during braking but you didn't mention that.

Question Leaning or pulling?

Leaning & pulling are to different things. If it leans then it could have a weak spring or torsion bar causing the lean or one hell of a fata$$ bumming rides from you. Now if its pulling when simply driving down the road the guys are on the right path with your alignment being off. If it pulls but only when your braking you have a stuck caliper. Hows the tires, wearing on the inner or outer edges? Blue

I believe that roads are engineered so that they are not perfectly flat, which aids in the rain runoff. Maybe its just the road being arched slightly that makes it seem like the truck is pulling to the right.
Or maybe your alignment is off or your tires are not balanced correctly?
Just my 2 cents.

I would drive on various roads in different areas.

My truck pulls to the right on some roads, not on others. Also, in some intersections, where the road is worn pretty badly, the truck will pull even harder, but it is because of the ruts.

Not enough downforce. Put a huge wing on it. here's an example:

It will also add 20-30 HP. And if you can find a decal from the manufacturer of the wing, stick it on your rig. Another 4-5 HP.

Did you just lift your truck or changed shocks or springs?

I changed my shocks and springs two weeks ago and I noticed that the truck steered toward the right.

I did an alignment and the problem went away.
