Just talked with Joe over at Teraflex and he recommended that I get rid of the dropped pitman arm which would return it back very close to proper geometry. He also turned me onto his Frame Brace and Drag Link Flip Kit which I was already looking at getting the brace kit by itself, but perhaps the flip drag link would help me as well.
Maybe I'll end up going this direction, not sure yet.

I really hope you find your solution.

Thanks pluke!!! Mine looks just like that also.. see how parallel the drag and track bar are...
Also Evo just came out with a drag link flip kit that has a axle side track bar bracket and a flipped drag link.

Definitely in a huge dilemma about how to fix this... There's both the Teraflex and Evo kits, both act differently. I think in either case I should get rid of the drop pitman arm like Joe suggested.
I'm worried the Teraflex kit will only make my geometry worse unless I raise the trackbar axle mount somehow, but I really like the added support bar this comes with. Or does this kit drop my frame side trackbar enough to correct geometry?
The Evo one will raise up my trackbar axle side but won't have the extra support.

Can't wait to see how it works!

I'm going to be down by Evo tomorrow morning it turns out so I'm going to stop by and get their opinion on it.
I think a drag link flip, axle bracket and removing the dropped pitman arm might do the trick... Hopefully it does, then I'll eventually add the Teraflex Track Bar Brace Kit as well.
Possible animation on how this could solve my problem.
