Default 6.5" LA Lift Problems

I just got my rough country 6.5 LA lift kit last week (took a while to arrive) in Australia. Got the extended drive shaft and slip yoke eliminator. The installation went well....only problem was fabricating the track bar mount and track bar for right hand drive XJ.

Two main problems;
1) Serious amount of free play in the steering and DW when I hit a pothole doing 25 miles. I believe the track bar is too lose as the XJ moves side to side when turning the steering when stationary.

2) After installing the lower arm cross member and aligning it with the transfer case bolts...can't engage the 4wd drive gears, 5th and reverse gear (its a manual 2.5 litre).

Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated. Thanks
