Look just over you rear tire at the brake line. If it is straight or close to straight remove the nut holding the bracket on and let the line hang. ( a lot of kits do this as normal install) it could be your kit didn't come with extensions or your installer didn't install by an honest mistake. It happens. I have a strong hunch that's the problem. (I made the same oops putting mine on until after the initial test drive 
)

This forum has been a HUGE help...

Since this Jeep is "new to me", I'm going to have the dealer go through her top to bottom and see if there are any open recalls or other issue that may need to be addressed in the process. I'm going to look at the brake line this AM, but a 4 wheel alignment sure couldn't hurt, either...right? Can't wait to keep modding this baby..., I frigging LOVE my JK!

I actually just had this happen to me yesterday getting off an off ramp too. It was raining out and I figured the road was just slick since it hadn't rained in a few weeks. I didn't think much more about it until I read this thread.
I have a jks trackbar on mine and my Jeep tracks straight as an arrow and the wheel is deadnuts straight too. I'll check my brake lines.
Would something like Procal help with this? So the ECU knows what size tire it's dealing with? I'm going to be picking one up to adjust my speedo.

What components do you have? And have you read through the DIY write-up linked earlier in this thread?
If you do not have adj trackbars, they can NOT recenter the axles.
If you do not have adj ca's, they can NOT adjust the caster.
You have solid axles, so they can NOT adjust the camber.
They can check the Toe and adjust if it is off. (but likely will not need to)
They can re-center the steering wheel. (as mentioned, 5 minutes of your time)
Is it worth the $80 or whatever they charge? But no, it won't hurt anything. Except your wallet.
