Default 09 JKU wont stay aligned 2.5" lift

I went to get my jeep realigned after 3 weeks from previous one, and it was waaaay out of alignment again! They said I need a HD track bar.. I don't want to keep putting parts on if this wont solve the problem.. Some input would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Trackbar shouldn't throw it out of alignment. Loose bolts will. With a solid front axle it takes a lot to knock it "way out".

They told me they were unable to make the left pull go away..
The first pic is from original alignment.. Which still had pull to left after they were done..

Yes, Check out your control arm bolts, bushings, and arms themselves. Camber shouldnt change that much, and the right side is much different in those two alignments.
Pull the arms and take a look at them, particuarly the bolts and holes in the brackets. Torque to specs.
