Ya and if you read through there, I said it isn't right. And I asked for suggestions on how to stop it. Are you trying to just make me look bad by showing that picture without saying what happened? The problem has been fixed and it will not be on the road like that, nor did I ever intend to drive it with that problem.
No I will not be welding it to the wheel. I will be running it up the frame, so that it has somthing to push on. Just like everyone is doing with the bar to the crossmember.

Is there any advantage in ride and handling to make a custom lower track bar mount that is directly above the axle instead of using the stock one, or is it simply for crossmember clearance issues???
I'm about to either buy the superlift adjustable one, or if its better, I'm going to order heims, and DOM and have it tapped for a custom track bar..
I think somehow a heim and this lower and upper mount would be better than using the stock one... can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

I like this setup for the upper:

I suspect that if you want to go high steer/knuckle under the stock mount could interfere with the steering in addition to the crossmember clearance. A strait bar directly over the axel wouldn't interfere with the hang downs on the crossmember either. I'm in the middle of doing mine. Soembody confirm these ideas?????Pile_Of_Parts said:Is there any advantage in ride and handling to make a custom lower track bar mount that is directly above the axle instead of using the stock one, or is it simply for crossmember clearance issues???

I am revising my plans - I want my lower to be exactly like yours on the D60 Damon... Excellent design in my (non-expert) opinion.

I do have one question for you though... WHY did you put heims on your Xmember to track bar bracket support - why didn't you just weld it - it shouldn't EVER need to be adjusted -- right????????
PS - I also think it might be a good idea to wrap the upper mount around the side of the frame rail like you did for extra support...

Trust me - I cracked my original frame in 12 places - it CAN be done.. They aren't THAT tough!

UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR AWARD:
Thanks for laying it out like that - the entire weight of the Bronco and then some is on that tracbar bracket and steering box - upper track bar mount must REINFORCE and work together to tie the crossmember, steering box, and frame rail together, or you're gonna rip your frame or crossmember.
