I found this on my phone

My has more bend in it then what you would probably need

It usually has weights hanging so it needs extra clearance

The short panhard bar and it and the drag link being at an angle are your problems. Both bars need to be as long as possible to ease the arch that they travel in. I don't have a panhard and steer off of the pass side knuckle - king pin 60 - no BS at all,and a lot more lift.

I have. But driving on road and not using bed had me thinking something that would be like… noT that. Plus, it’s not called a sled here. Infact no one here uses a word to reference it.

Yes track bar & drag link would ideally be equal length, parallel, and pivot at the same points. Super stiff suspension could mask the issue but the way to solve it is have steering and axle move on the same arc together.
