Do I need to outboard my front shocks?

Because you said you had a raised track bar bracket but weren't using a flipped drag link and they were still in line with each other. While you have a raised track bar bracket you really aren't using it.

Isn't the point of a raised trackbar bracket to get everything inline? The jeep drives great with no bump steer so what would be the advantage of flipping the draglink?

Like stated above, you arent really using your raised tb bracket. What this means for the OP is that the relocated shock brackets on the aftermarket housing are whats keeping the shocks off the frame. Not due to reduced axle shift from running the raised bracket.

Thanks, that confirms what I mentioned about the TF axle being the solution. It sounds like Flyer should install the relocation brackets.
Help me understand what we should be doing different with the raised the raised TB brackets. Flyer and I are friends and a few of us in our group we have have the same lift and we have discussed the TB bracket benefit of getting rid of bump steer since it has worked on mine. Aligning the front end and adjusting the geometry of the TB bracket with the draglink have been the goals, should we be doing something different? BTW we all have adjustable TB's.

I'll certainly install the shock relocation brackets and keep an eye on them- maybe even weld new ones on eventually. Also interested in the drag link flip so will start looking into that. I do get a little bump steer and settling that down would make a pretty nice difference on long trips.
