my problem is that my track bar from the steering knuckle doesnt reach my pitman arm and the track bar that connects to the frame from the passenger side of the axle to the drivers side frame rail. wondering if anyone knows any tricks to get them to connect

Seems like it. Which would make things all out of whack. A drop pitman arm and an adjustable track bar would make things fit, but no matter what, stock steering + bro lift = disaster. I bet that thing will have death wobble and so much bump steer. I get the whole massive lift thing if you live down south and go mud bogging all the time, but with any lift, do it the right way the first time.
Edit, freegdr, you have a big ol' lift right? What are you running for steering? I bet that would be a good place to start.

my lift is done on a budget and is done right i'm not trying to spend much money at all i bought a 2wd 89 and used my 4wd 88 parts to build this rig. my last one i had less then $1200 in and it never failed me. i have $400 in this one with buying it and im trying to do a budget build to prove with some want to and so skills you can build a bad *** rig that will last and will perform. steering is my only problem because i have never messed with any steering. i rather build my parts then buy them i have some access to a water jet machine for free and i can build anything i need i just need an idea on what to do

If you want a well performing, reliable, multi-purpose trail rig, than why dont you stick to a reasonable lift and spend the money where it counts?
Your jeep with 11" of lift and 35" tires will sit 4" taller than my jeep on 40" tires.
