Track Bar Brackets

I'm looking for a track bar bracket for a 2008 axle swap and wondering what the difference is between the 2005-07 bracket and the 2008-16 bracket. I have the 2008 bracket and it doesn't fit my frame once the steering gearbox is installed. I really don't want to buy a custom bracket, but trying to figure this out so I can finish working on the frame and get it galvanized.

While I haven’t been able to compare side by side the 08 and newer frames are hydro formed and dip down after the engine so I’d assume the bracket takes this into consideration and mounts lower for the front section.

That would explain why it puts the track bar so far out of angle when I tried getting it to position. Was about 2.5” higher than where the track bar needed to mount.
