I'll play with it for a while, but if making it shorter/longer doesn't remove the bump steer I'll go back to the drop downs.

I run the BDS System 2.5 including the Adj track bar. No Bump Steer and I an running 325x60-20 BFG KM3's. Before that Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x13.50-20's with none either. Dual Fox steering stabilizer as well.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, looks like the kit doesn't use dropped parts after all. Dang, now I gotta play around with my set up. Don't get me wrong, it drives good, but I'm OCD about stuff like this.

I am as OCD as they come lol! One reason I continue to use the BDS products. I think this is my 5th truck using them from leveling to 4 inch lifts on my gassers. I have 26k on mine in 9 months with quite a but off road at the ranch and also at 85-90 in West Texas going to and from. Mine is perfect and as good as any 4wd except for the last Dodge Cummins with a 4in BDS and that is with the beast tires I am running now.

Yup, learned my lesson. Don't mix lift kits unless you're 100% sure it'll work. Suspension harmonics is a real thing, and I did not go to school for it. Guess I have a Carli adjustable track bar for sale. I'm in Austin, but I have land in Smithville, so if anyone wants this pretty much brand new track bar just holler.
