Tack bar shouldn't have to be shortened. You might have to move the axle bracket around to clear the new draglink, but it should be the right length.

mine had to be shortened. ended up just making a whole new one.

You have to shorten it a little when raising it. Theres kinda a coil spring in the way. Depends on what trackbar you have. If you have one with a bushing at the axle end, i would get the rubber out of the sleeve, cut it off, notch the tubing to the right length, then reweld the sleeve in the notch.
