I'm assuming and assuming only, but since it has the after market mopar LCAs they should be of the proper length for the lift. Even if they are not adjustable.

The LCA's should be fine. Adjustable is nice but if they were engineered with the lift you should be good. The pull to the left is likely in the steering. Did they replace your track bar or at the very least lower it with a bracket for the lift? Lifted JK's do have a tendency to pull slightly left but shouldn't dart that way and it shouldn't be super pronounced.

I have a friend with this lift she had the same problem. It turns out the lift used the factory track bar with no bracket. I changed the track bar and it drive normal again

One could take the steering stab off, see if/how much pressure it applies left, and drive with it removed and see if the left pull goes away.

It's a 4" lift and it looks like a stock track bar , if it is a stock track bar ( and I don't see any relocation mounts for it ) then you should look into getting a adjustable one first before you do anything else

Wouldn't that push it right if it was pressurized

I believe the rod end pushes on the tie rod in a left steer direction. The SS is in the first pic posted. Found this https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...g-left-237557/ which might help the OP.
