Steering look good! Those links look nice man!
That track bar needs to be moved up at the body and the axle. I would be willing to bet your "roll" steering is coming form the body side mount. looks about 6 inches lower then the Pitman arm.
I bet you already know this but they should be at the same height at the axle and body mounts so they move on the same plane over bumps, resulting in proper steering geometry and feel.
On a side note, I am glad to see we someone else has close to the same amount of bump stops as me lol

Why do the mounting points matter as far as height? If the bars are the same length and at the same angle (neither of these are the case on mine right now), they can be 6 feet apart and still move the body left and right at the same rate....right?
How is raising only that frame mount, making the track bar angle even steeper, going to improve the bumpsteer? The drag link is longer and at a shallower angle as it is. I was ranting to Derek earlier how that makes no mathematical sense to me. Can someone illustrate how I am wrong?
But I will try anything...I want it to work!

Yeah, I am all about bump stops.
