Check the condition of the frame and axle ends of the track bar. (Worn bushings?)

Wallowed hole in the axle for the track bar?

The bushings are kevins off road hard core bushing put in not even a month ago. Had to redrill holes for bolts to fit. I might think its my i just had new lcas put on and a drop pitman arm the pitman arm before wasnt parallel with trac bar so got one and now its too low so im thinkin trac bar lower bracket?

No, the angles don't look too bad.

If it was mine I'd put it on an alignment rack and get a print out of the actual spec's and compare them to the spec's for your rig.

A couple other things to look at:
Toe-in/Toe-out
Caster angle
Camber
