Hey man I literally am in the exact same position, same tires, same lift, I got it installed july 28th, and I got the exact same problems. I got it checked out the other day and bottom line is that front adj track bar and some front lower control arms will do the trick. Now I'm just saving up for it all...

had kinda the same problem. got the adj track bar and lower control arms, and it fixed the flighty steering,.. brakes didn't pull when applied, but i greased the pins anyway. uneven caster will cause a pull also. now i have a gravelly driveline type vibration that i can't locate. On the brightside, when i drop the driveshaft into the pavement, and it catapults me head first into the ditch, i should be able to steer it better...

X2 on ball joints. Was the problem on my jeep. Also pulling to one side if you have air in a line on one side!

You'll need to adjust them shorter than stock( 18 3/4in eye to eye), try a half inch shorter
