Hmmm. Starting to wonder if the suspension guys you talked to are suggesting the lift kit causes bumpsteer right out of the box (that was my assumption) or if they're suggesting the lift wears parts, the outcome of which is bumpsteer?

Found this here.

"A potential bump steer problem can be spotted by setting the alignment machine to its toe screen, then jouncing the vehicle's suspension while observing toe change. The toe reading should move positive or negative equally, or remain unchanged. If the reading shows one side positive and the other side negative, or a dramatic difference side to side as the vehicle is jounced, check for a bent pitman arm, idler arm, steering arm or centerlink, firewall damage, or a shifted engine cradle or worn rack-and-pinion mounting bushings."

Alright, I'll shut up and let someone who knows what they're talking about answer this.
