its easy enough. i made the drop bracket for my "track bar" myself. mine was already dropped for a 4" lift, i dropped it 5" more with a flat plate. use 3/8"-1/2" plate

oreo is correct, it wraps around the bar, not bolts to the bar like i thought.
here are a few pics of the stock mount with a lengthened bar.

drop the bracket, never extend the bar. longer bar means the more that side compresses, the more it shoves it to the side. if you just drop the bracket then it keeps the side shifting minimal. it took 30 minutes to make the plate, its easy enough.
