So this is what I determined using your method. See pic below. Pretty close. I also am posting a pic of my frame side track bar mount because it looks like possibly a drop bracket of some sort? Also the pitman arm to see of it looks stock or like a drop. Should that be close enough and just assume its mostly the tires?

I'm having a really hard time deciphering the pics, but it sure looks like something is off. Your track bar and draglink need to be parallel. Even a slight angle deviation can cause some pretty dramatic issues.

Had to go into desktop mode to upload a picture but this was what the front end looks like after I ran lines. They look pretty parallel to me

Could be the angle, but it looks like the track bar starts higher and finishes lower than the draglink in that picture. In all seriousness why don't you just get down there and get some measurements?
