Track bar drop bracket needed?

Question for you guys that have suspension experience.
I ordered a 2.5" front spring lift (levelling kit) for my 97 SC 4x4, I also ordered the carrier bearing drop kit.

I recently did a PMF 2.5" RSK (with V-codes) and I also got the the PMF drop Pitman arm, adjustable track bar, and the drop bracket. The bracket I ended up not using as it interfered with my swaybar. So I'm running the PMF Pitman arm and their adjustable bar, but have the drop bracket sitting in the garage.

Hey Colin, I'd be willing to sell it for sure. It's back at my previous house 250 miles away, at least it was as of a few months ago. My friends still live there and it still should be in the garage. I'll be there this weekend and I'll confirm for you.
