Agreed. It's definitely better. Not perfect.

Back up a little when you take the picture. Need to see both ends of the drag link and tracbar.

Not bad. I'd want them a bit more parallel to the ground but you really can't do that without less lift or high steer arms.

Would a drop pitman arm help him any? I know it should be lower but would It drop the drag link down enough?

That would make the angle worse.

If anything, I'd add a dropped pitman arm and raise the axle end of the trac bar higher but that'd require some cutting and welding and such.

Not without raising the axle side track bar mount, looks like it would throw the angles off. But I'm no steering geometrist

Edit: Yes I'm right. I'm awesome.
