I'll have to measure the old from what's installed now. And see the difference.

You guys are giving me some great info here. I appreciate it

Would removing the sector shaft brace and installing the factory pitman with a drag link sound like a possible solution? Would the raised track bar cause a problem in that case?
Take a wider angle picture of the components, you want it to show the bolt holes on both ends of the trackbar and drag link. Open it in paint, and draw straight lines between the bolt holes. Easy way to see just how parallel the bars are.

As noted, you want the trackbar and draglink to be parallel to each other. They were parallel when stock, and they were parallel after relocating the drag link (drop pitman) and the trackbar (frame-sde drop bracket). You then added an axle-side bracket which raised the trackbar from the axle - and started getting bumpsteer. x2 on removing both the drop pitman and frame-side bracket, and flipping the drag link to the top of the knuckle. You may need to add some bumpstop when flipping. (not the cheesy integrated stops on the shocks, actual bumpstop)
