Alignment problem....or something else?

I have an 08 SD 4x4. About a year and a half ago I had an Icon Dynamics 2.5 inch leveling kit installed along with some 35inch Nitto Trail Grapplers. Looks great, but it consistently seems to pull a bit to the left, not much but enough to annoy me. I'm not a mechanic, so I bought what the guy at Truck Toyz recommended. coils, shocks, rear blocks, and something called an adjustable pan bar. I think the guy who installed this stuff at the local shop was just barely more of a mechanic than I, and I'm pretty sure he spent an equal amount of time screwing off as he did working on my truck. Now about 13K miles, tire rotation and 2 alignments, the damn thing still wants to drift left. Initially he took about a day to get the thing aligned. Any help, suggestions as to what to look for or tell a real mechanic to look for. Could it be something with the "adjustable pan bar"? Does it need adjusting?!!!
Thanks to all in advance.

your PANARD bar keeps your axel centerd under your truck your pull to the left could be soft tire,brake drag (calipar stuck) or road surface.....maybe your left hub is stuck ingauged lots of things can do this..... good luck

Tire pressure is good, I'm pretty sure both hubs are locked out. Brakes, no idea there, I'll have em looked at.
