In not sure what you're asking?? If you haven't adjusted the track bar, then adjust it. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at in the pics either. Pic #1 and #2 just look like they show a 2x4 vs a 4x4 front end. The 3rd pic just looks like you've changed out some components and painted them. I don't see the driveshaft that you're having the issue with. How much did you lower it by? Which kit did you buy and did it advise against excessive weight? Just asking for a little more details.

The point was when adding weight make sure to check your suspension for changes

Before where the track bar is

After now where it sits just with added weight

If the adjustment helped you, great but I just don't see the difference between the before and after The exposed threads where the trackabr is adjusted looks about the same to me in both images

If you look at the before and after pics, you can see how the trackbar is lower on the after photo. As reference, look at the 'dimples' on either side of the diff cover.
