2 possible solutions:

1. Add bend to the trackbar so it may contoutr around the differential cover at bump.

2. raise the mount for the trackbar higher

To raise the panhard mount on the frame, you'll have to do the same on the axle side. The draglinink and panhard must be paralell and a close to the same length as possible, emphasis on the former.

It is possible to raise only the frame side mount, but you would then have to get a pitman arm with equally less drop aswell.

HTH.

This is pretty common sense, like he said... Build a new track bar with a bend in it!

because its pirate. for me its a love-hate thing. you ignore the d-bags and gleam what you can from the rest.

if you need help bending that bar let me know.

i'm one of the good guys. there are more of us than there are of them. don't get discouraged. welcome to the sport.

its the way pirate is i guess, its all good in the end and you cant go web wheelin around here with your feelings:D

just add a bend at the top and watch how high you mount the frame mount or your track bar will "self clearance" your oil pan:homer:

then attach string to your frame mount to the axle mount then attach a seperate piece to where the drag link would go and make sure the strings are at an equal slope so you dont have bump steer.

pics always help - the track bar/ panhard bar needs to be about or close to parallel with your draglink hence why with that much lift you need to raise the axle side mount in most cases

got to have tough skin around this part of the interwebs

post some pics of the front set up and go from there
