Default Does a shorter than stock ADJ trackbar exist?

So u can see the sig, got about 2 1/2+ inches of lift and was doin good with the JKS adj front tb, but my tb holes got wallowed out so i went with the Currie TB relocation bracket, well now my axle is pushed to far to the starboard side haha (passenger side) and I took the JKS off and made it as short as possible, which is the same length as stock. well i need to go shorter than stock.
So, is there one out there, or have i just made a big mess out of my front end??

Sounds like you have your answer - customize the JKS shorter. Maybe find or make the jamnut thinner, or cut off part or the tube end to shorten it.

For what its worth I've gone back to the stock trackbar too. I have a 4" long arm lift that had the track bar set as short as possible. Changing back to stock required me to turn the drag link coupling <1/4 turn to center the steering wheel - there's really not much difference between the two trackbars for my lift.
I've since fixed the aftermarket trackbar bushing but haven't felt the need to re-install the trackbar.

Default is this bad

yea i took of the jam nut and cranked it down into the inside tube. theres no jam nut on there right now, i know thats probably bad, but it felt pretty solid. just until i can find a thinner jam nut.

on another note, is it bad that my drank link and track bar are not parallel to each other??
