I would say if you don't want to buy a new SS that's smaller, flipping it like it says you can in the kit would probably be your best bet. Then it'll definitely clear that thing.

He will want the trackbar bracket to then so he can raise the trackbar at the same time.

How much actual lift height do you have? Flips require at least 3" of extended bumpstop to keep it from hitting the frame, though some people choose to notch the frame to give clearance.

bushing today in the case that I decide to flip the drag link. That will take care of it but not crazy about doing it.

Here is the bracket you would need to complete your flip since you have the draglink already. It's a raised trackbar bracket.

As he mentioned earlier, he has maxed out the extension on the axle side of the drag link. It's incorrectly installed. you must shorten the axle end and extend the frame side like it tells you to in the installation instructions. If you're maxed out at the axle end then you are unable to adjust the draglink on the fly like you're supposed to due to it already being maxed out. Fix that first and see it it clears.

I went ahead and extended the Drag Link on the frame side and shortened the axle side. . . unfortunately it is still hitting. I will need to order a new relocation bracket or flip the drag link. Not sure what direction I will go but in the meantime I did flip the SS to the top side of the bracket as a temporary solution. It's on an angle and puts pressure on the bushing. The good news my front end is tight and handles as new. Off to Rausch Creek this weekend!
