Trac Bar needs to be relocated or upgraded to adjustable.

Depends on lift and wallet. For relocation some redrill the hole ,some buy relocation bracket and some buy adjustable bar. Buying the bar is the best way but most costly .A bracket is less costly but only works to certain lift size and reuses old trac bar which could have issues causing shakes. Third is cheapest way but drill hole wrong then got a hole new problem. Also still uses old bar. This only relocates front axle to near center .Not guaranteed to stop shacke .All steering parts should be checked for tightness .

Don't redrill it. It's no good. Spend the coin on a quality double sheer track bar.
