Default Steering - What to buy first?

My 2011 JKU auto on MTR 35's with 2.5 coil lift, pulls to the right. I've aligned the front by setting the toe-in by 1/16 inch. My tires are inflated at 30psi. I noticed the Rear axle is off center by 0.75" towards the passenger side, Front is offcenter by < 1/8". Nothing is fixing the pull/drift, so I'm assuming I need to get more adjustable suspension parts to get a full alignment.

I don't really want to buy all of these parts at the same time, but wanted to try one-at-time to see if it will fix my problem:

Adj Rear Track bar (Rear bracket already installed from lift kit)
Adj Front Track bar
Front Lower Control Arms
Rear Upper Control Arms

Anyone recommend which will most likely fix the problem? Or what order/combo I should try?

Thanks in advance

I would go with the adjustable track bars first to get everything centered. Then do the control arms.

I would start by finding a local shop that does free alignment checks, then post the numbers.

How much actual lift height did you get with those coils? Were all bolts torqued while sitting on the ground under vehicle weight?

Agreed... It's a lot easier to diagnose an issue when you have something to go off of...
