Default Did I orient my front track bar correctly?

I've been reading about clearance issues with track bars when it occurred to me that I may not have oriented my TB correctly. I have the rock krawler tb that just has one bend about a quarter to one third of the way down it. I positioned the bend so that it is facing directly up. Is that correct or should I position the bend so it is facing directly forward?

The bend should be closer to the drivers side and pointing up. The Heim joint should be on the axle side and the greasable bushing on the frame side.
