Default HELP! Jeep pulling under acceleration

I don't believe my issue is the typical torque steer issue and I'm about at my witts end with this problem. I have a 2008 Sahara 2 door, lifted 3.5 inches in the front and 2.5 in the rear. I recently put a 1 inch body lift on it and a Rough Country Trackbar bracket. Now my Jeep pulls to the left when accelerating and my steering wheel simultaneously falls to the right. Once letting off the gas, the wheel comes back to the center and the Jeep comes back to the middle of the road. FYI, this isn’t a slight move to the left, but a swift shift into oncoming traffic to the point I don’t feel safe driving this thing sometimes. I've talked to every shop in town and no one can seem to tell me what it is. Two alignments have been done in the past 2 weeks and everything is within spec. Not sure what to do.

you might also want to think about getting a real track bar instead of a bracket

I figured out how to fix the problem along with a few others. I'm trading the darned thing in on a 2008 rubi unlimited hardtop that's already lifted.
