I just bought this Cherokee it has bumpsteer issues I'm guessing this is the reason I've never seen a drop bracket used on the front track bar

So I'm guessing the fix is an adjustable track bar and get rid of that bracket am I alright getting a jks one or would a double shear setup be recommended? I'm not really sure how much lift this thing has?
