I would remove the drop Pitman arm, re install the stock one, and use no brackets. drive it and see how it feels.

They work together. You want to use both, or neither. Most people on here will recommend against running a drop pitman, but it's your jeep...

As far as your pic goes, it isn't far enough back to see the mounting holes. (the bars are bent, so you can not use them to tell how parallel the mounting points are). Watch the vid again to see where you need to mark, then connect the dots with straight lines to see where you are at now.

Update.
Changed dropped pitman out with stock one. Adjusted toe and steering wheel. Also set air pressure to 30.
Rides like a champ.
Thanks for the help.

I have the same problem and just ordered an adj trackbar as i couldnt get the drop pitman arm on (and then heard i dont want too)
Your running the stock pitman arm and the adj trackbar without the trackbar relocation bracket right? im hoping just the adj trackbar alone will fix my problem. do you have it adjustted to 32 7/8"

Yes, I am running stock pitman and Tera flex adjustable trac bar. The measurement started as that, then fine tuned. And no relocation bracket.
