Terrafirma lift cause caster issues?
think of it this way. you ever do curls? while holding it in front of you, if you mark a spot on the top of the curl bar thing and you lower the bar, the marked spot rotates as you lower and raise it.
same deal but the axle is the bar, your elbows are the mount of radius arm to frame, your forearms are the radius arms, your locked wrists and grasp on the bar is the 3 point mounting on the axle.
as mentioned above......if you only lower the bar/axle a tad, that marked spot barely rotates

FWIW, I am running a TF 4" kit with 33" Cooper STTs. I did the adjustable panhard, but nothing else and I track straight at 75mph without issues. Sounds like your mechanic likes your money. I would have them double check the installment of the track rod.
Caster is the angle of the axis the wheel pivots on. Since there isn't steering in the back, there is no caster.
Well, considering the caster correcting radius arms are about impossible to find, I am going to give the adjustable pan hard rod a try!
I'll have the truck re-aligned and I will have them pay special attention this time!

I still have the annoying wandering issue.
I have been reading up on things and was wondering if my TF Steering damper is the issue.
I do not think I have the return to center one, since it doesn't have a exposed coil.
Do the return to center ones work? Is there a different brand I should look at?
What do you guys think? I
