Is it possible that this jeep was in an accident? A hard enough hit to the wheel/axle could bend the track bar bracket, I would check this before buying a adjustable track bar. My jeep had this exact problem.
Rear axle alignment

Hence why I said check the motor mounts too. I wouldn't rule out for it to still move a little even if the MM aren't broken. If they're severely worn I could see it doing this.
I think we wait until the OP post up a bunch of pics so we can get a better look.
If the transfer case was off, wouldn't the front driveshaft be off to one side as well? Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks straight. Been a while since I was under my Jeep with a stock transfer case skid, so I forget how it is supposed to align.
I'm most just commenting to follow since I'm interested to see what the problem is. Large wheel spacer on one side but not the other?

Is it OK to take bets on this forum?
Judging by the larger than stock tires and aftermarket control arms, I'm going with 8.8 swapped in place of a dana 35. I'll bet on it
Something isn't right. The t/c looks to be pushed to the drivers side. The rear output on the t/c should basically be centered between the 4 trans mount bolts. My bet is it took a shot in the front and crumpled the right side frame rail.
I don't think its an 8.8, because they used a flanged yoke. Unless someone changed it to a 1310 yoke.
The other possibility is that it was dropped off a cliff at one point.
Toss it on an alignment rack and post up the measurements.

I've never been more curious of the solution to a forum post. Come back OP! Come back!
Pics aren't quite what we're looking for, however, the one of your exhaust shows is pretty far away from that upper control arm mount. Mine sits right next to it. I know there will be some variance, but it looks WAY off to me.
Can you take a pic from the rear at ground level that shows the entire width of the axle? Also one of the track bar mount. Another of the space between the driver side frame rail and the t-case, another of the skid looking straight forward with the mount bolts showing. Did you check your motor mounts? Pics of those too?
