To give a run down I have a 2013 JKU that I just installed a 3" Teraflex lift, adjustable trackbar, and Aev correction brackets. It's getting some bump steer and looks like the track bar could use moving up some to get a better angle with the drag link.
Wanted to see what y'all think and how you would correct it.
Thanks in advance!

Can't see the left side. Pull back a bit to take the next pic, open it in Paint, and draw straight lines from hole to hole on both bars. Then compare those lines. Much easier to see the relation than looking at bent bars.
Anyway, assuming I'm close on that top line, doesn't look bad to me.

And just a suggestion, if you are raising the trackbar with a bracket, you will also need to flip the draglink to the top of the knuckle. Do not do one without the other. (you'll need to check the bumpstops also)

What trackbar is that? looks like a rough country or the early JKS, if its either of those, theres your problem...They flex. Replace with a teraflex bar and you will be good.

My first lift on my '09 JKUR was a TF 4" with 3" springs. It had enough bump steer IMHO to need correction. I used the Synergy kit, which included a raised axle side bracket, new track bar and flipped drag link. Worked very well. I later went 4" long arm and swapped in Teraflex's front track bar arrangement. Retained Synergy drag link
