Default Steering angle questions

I was wondering what you guys think of the angles of drag link and Trac bar. It's on Jeep I just picked up with a 4.5 lift kit maybe more not 100% sure on lift. The angles look pretty parallel to me. But it's been awhile since under a Jeep. I think drag link needs to lower little bit. It still has foctory pitman arm

It's pretty close. Really you should leave it unless you are willing to re-adjust your steering and toe-in just as the jeep manuals describe, then center the axle and adjust the track bar accordingly. If you set it up by eye or tinker with it you are likely going to develop a death wobble.
