Is my alignment off or am I crazy?

So, just had my MC GameChanger lift installed, and the shop aligned the Jeep. My question is, I drive it, and sometimes it drives straight as an arrow, and other it wants to pull to the left pretty hard. It's not the wind before that's asked. All my tires are at 26 psi. I have the FOX ATS steering stabilizer set to about 14 clicks. I have Fox 2.5 DSC Reservoir shocks, and they are set to about half. I'll attach my alignment specs. Also, before the lift I had no issues, now the tires sometimes have a vibration. Speed doesn't matter. I only drive it about once a week, so I could be flat spots. For all you suspension people that understand this. Please let me know. I have an appointment with another shop that deals with lifted Jeeps to have the Alignment checked, but if you guys think it looks good, I'll cancel. I have heard that electric assist power steering is impossible to actually drive straight.

Alignment looks good except for the thrust angle. Now, if the Jeep was stock I’d say it’s just how they racked it up on the alignment rack, but since you just had all 8 adjustable arms installed, I’d check to see if the rears are the same length on both sides. If thrust angle is off enough, it will cause slight pull.

Should I have the shop check that or is it just a simple measure from center bolt to center bolt on the rear arms?

You can measure it. Check all four arms. Try and be as precise as you can.

I measured and it’s pretty close with the tools I have. Kinda think I have the stabilizer set to tight. It goes to 24 and I have 14 to 15 clicks. Anyone want to chime in as to how many they use on the Fox ATS stabilizer?
