just something i noticed here. neither of you had/have radius arm drop brackets and you both had/have track bar bushing issues. think maybe the effed up geometry caused the issues???? just a thought......

mine has them but they are custom fab. Ill get some pics of my front end. My radius arms are parallel with the ground, they dont angle up at all. i checked and my track bar is at a much steeper angle then my drag link so i was thinking if i build a drop bracket, i think im going to have to shorten my track bar but it should then be parallel with the drag link

Your track bar should not only be parallel with your tie rod from the front, but if you were to look at the track bar from the top of the truck or under it should be parallel that way to. The longer you make it the better it is all going to work for you. If you want to make an adjustable one that uses stock bushings, go to my build thread and you'll see where I built my own by using a peterbuilt tierod and the original track bar. You'll need access to a lathe if you gothat route though.
