So I need to delve into the wealth of knowledge on this site, haha. I am sitting on around 5 1/2" of lift right now, and I am looking to drop my track bar and drag link in an attempt to reduce some wandering on the road and bumpsteer. So i bought the TNT customs track bar bracket and would like to buy a heim joint to put on the end of my RC track bar so the new bracket will accept it.
So looking at my front end, the RC track bar has bends in it to clear everything, my question is, when i drop the frame side of the track bar down, am I going to run into issues? i kinda exaggerated what it will look like in the second picture, but its the basic idea. I feel like i will be much more prone to bending the bar. can I simply weld in some trusses to avoid this? Thanks for any help guys!

Why are you doing this? Your angles look fine, if your having wandering issues, check your caster.

Hmm, I was told the wandering is most likely from the steeper angle of the drag link due to the lift, so a drop pitman arm would fix this, which means I have to drop the track bar.
But if im looking at caster angles, I dont know the specs, but i believe i could go a more positive on the angle, but its kind of in a happy(ish) medium between my caster and pinion angles. Is there a way to fix both and get them where they need to be? I think Ive seen shims for the coils on JK's, is that a viable option?
