Default Track Bar Axle Mount

I'm getting some death wobble and I suspect that my track bar mount is the culprit.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any product that I can replace the mount with? I have WJ knuckles with HD tie rod, drag link, and track bar - all with heims. I moved the track back from the stock axle mounting location to where the steering dampener used to be mounted and I think that has created some problems. So, I'm looking for a product that I can weld to the axle tube and call it good. Ideally, I'd want one that would go in place of the original mounts and provide a raised mount for the track bar (to match my high steer) and a mount for a steering dampener.
I have researched a few but none that really suit my needs. I have seen the JKS one but I haven't seen any pics that really sell me on it (I can't tell where it mounts at and I'm not sure if it is as heavy duty as I'm looking for).

Any ideas or input is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

That's the JKS one that I mentioned. I haven't seen any post-installation pics that convince me to go that route. If anyone has that mount, I'd love to see some pics.

Serious beat me to my own post. Loli am not a fan of using the stabilizer bracket for the track bar.

I've been looking at RuffStuff's bracket because I'm about to put an order in for some heims. He has two options available, center mount or offset mount. Out of curiosity, is either one better for stability or is it more of an option so that nothing binds?
