I dont have my trackbar in the "factory" location on the axle i dont remeber why i couldnt but i'm pretty sure i used the spot where the stock steering stabalizer bolt's to. I didnt need any bend's in my trac bar and at full compression (no spring's) i only had to trim the front edge off my engine crossmember to clear the trac bar. shortly there after the diff come's into contavt with the crossmember. if this were to ever happen on the trail's i would have a lot more to worry about because my tire's would be burried into my engine compartment my front shock's would be GONE and bump stop's destroyed i Have full range of motion on the axle and my steerin and trac bar doesnt even com close to binding. if the passanger were to drop out about another 12'' it would max out the rod end on the pitman arm and i'm still runnin the factory pitman arm.
