Wouldn't hurt to get an adjustable one to get the axle centered, back to where it should be, better for things like control arm bushings etc.

Pass side axle to driver's side frame.

Yup, but if it drives fine there's no hurry to do the track bar, I haven't done mine yet.

Do the tires stick out more on one side than the other? Did the stearing wheel change position after the lift?

Have you ever seen a leveling kit that didn't pull the axle over?
