Default Track bar drop bracket?

Does anyone know of a good drop bracket for a stock track bar? I'm buying a 3" lift in the next month, and i just bought a stock track bar. I don't want to shell out another $150+ for a new adjustable track bar plus drop bracket. Or would a better option for bump steer be a drop pitman arm? With a stock setup I already have bad bump steer. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

what most people to is drill another hole on the axle where the track bar bolts up. the RC lift kit I bought said the measure 3/4 of an inch to the right of the existing hole and drill a new one. I've seen quite a few XJ's like this and it seems to work fine. I went with an adjustable track bar.

I'll try it! cheap ideas are great!! Thanks!! does anyone know the size of the axle end bolt? I cant find one that fits?? The 10mm replacement bolt seems to small. The 11mm is too big.
