the 1660 bar is only good to 6" of lift, even with the 1665 drop bracket. you're at 8...search for a track bar good to 8" of lift, or build a longer one for yourself using builder parts and your own tubing.
what bracket are you running?

It may help if the trac bar was for the correct amount of lift.

You have to use the RE drop bracket to even bolt that up. It says on the part "For lifts between 4" - 6". " so whoever told you that was an idiot.

So the oh so free and obvious option of removing the spacers from your insanely tall lift is just out of the question then
