Default Purejeep Backbone brace and Evo Flip Kit...any suggestions???

So I had gears, gussets, sleeves, and the PureJeep backbone brace all welded up on my front D44...Now it appears that the Evo flip kit that I purchased is not going to work, due to the way that the trackbar brace/mount secures to the axle tube:





The bracket sits against the side & top of the tube, which is now blocked by the PureJeep brace. I still want to do this flip, so does anyone have or know of an axle-side raised trackbar mount that doesnt bolt around the axle tube itself? I think that should solve the issue....thanks!!!

I havent found any solution yet, short of modifying the evo bracket by cutting off the part where it wraps around the axle and just having it welded to the axle/truss.

The only other option i considered was purchasing a frame-side trackbar drop bracket, but i'm not sure whether that would interfere with the hi-steer linkage...

Modify both to work together and weld the evo bracket on the axle tube.

David,
That is what I thought. Trim the bracket at the U-bolt mount and then weld to the tube.
I'll give it a try on Friday

Thinking of going the same route with an EVO bracket for ram assist steering, I already have the Pure Jeep Backbone truss installed

Put up some pics showing install and track bar and drag link angle if you could

Greatly appreciated
