The sway bar end links are fine and your axle is properly centered!
What the guys are noticing is the end links both slant towards the driver side in the pics, this would normally be a clue your front end is shifted... But since I reread your post I noticed your truck is on a lift....and when our trucks are on a lift and the front axle is just dangling down it will swing towards the driver side because of the trac bar being mounted to that side of the frame.

Well, what I was referring to is that the pictures of items are completely different. The first link looks like just a long sheathed bolt with some bushings on both ends. The second it looks like an actual steering component. I'm wondering what the first link actually is.

If the sway bar links were going bad, you would feel it in curves more than anything else. it feels really unstable. If your truck is wandering, try an alignment after you change the stabilizer. On the back of my local grocery store recite is a coupon for 50% off an alignment in my area, maybe you have something like that around you?
