Default RE track bar hitting pitman arm HELP!

Just finished with a lot of steering and axel upgrades. I added the Evo drag link flip kit and have the RE adjustable track bar. My lift is the 3.5" RE and now the track bar is hitting the pitman arm bolt without flexing it out much at all. Bump stops would not help this as I am not flexing at all. Do I need to go back to the OEM track bar or remove the relocation bracket. I'm at a lose but need to figure it out soon!

Yes. That is right. Just added the Evo kit and things are crazy. Someone said to put the stock track bar back on. I'm just trying to figure it out.

For especially the front end, based on my research and other people's mishaps, it's better to stick with the same mfg to avoid all the headaches to see if components are compatible or not my 2 cents...
