Took some pics of my steering geometry. Would appreciate if you guys could take a quick look and see if any basics are "off": https://imgur.com/gallery/Ycvaj

Did you loctite the track bar bracket bolts at the frame end when you replaced the bracket? Those bolts tend to come loose and can cause death wobble.
I apologize if you or someone else mentioned this already. I didn't read every post.

You would benefit from a drop-pitman arm to relieve some of the angle on the draglink to the passenger knuckle. I'm not saying this would fix your problem but it'll certainly help prolong the life of your tie rod end

The driver tire is sticking out an inch further than the passenger. Lol

You already have a drop pitman arm and it still has that much angle? I'd be looking to drop it more to be honest.
And yes, after looking at the pics some more, you can see that the axle is shifted more to the drivers side just from the angle of the springs and sway bar links. Adjusting your track bar will fix this.

And yes, my lift kit came with a drop pitman arm, and matching track bar bracket.
