I did mine on the frame side. That's because I used the factory mount though.Anybody have an opinion on wether a single heim should go at the frame or the axle? I'm thinking frame, but admit I have no real reason aside from gut feeling for my opinion.
This is what I did. Because the track bar is not straight you need an ancher on one end or it might roll around and hit the diff. I put the hiem on the frame end because that is the smaller bushing and the one that always gets damaged from articulation. The heim will rotate where the bushing would get damaged. I use the right size DOM so that I can thread it 3/4"x 7" instead of welding in a bumg. The 7" makes it a one size fits all lifts.
Also, I'm thinking about reconfiguring for a full width track bar (EG mounted between the spring bucket and knuckle). Is it long enough for that?
Not the end of the world for a straight track bar, but with the threaded bushing available, I don't think two heims would be really necessary either. I'll probably fabricate the trackbar from scratch, or buy an adjustable one. I think the effort of modding the stock trackbar will be more trouble than its worth.

I make them long enough the fit the 7" lift, that is why I thread them 7", so you can cut them down to stock but when people call for a longer one I make them longer for the same price it just takes a few days longer.But can it be cut down to the proper size to fit a full width swap? I wasn't clear that it could.

You could do a RH thread heim at one end and a LH thread bushing end on the other. Just cut the bar and get it drilled and tapped. The bushing ends look like this.
