Hey Comemonday, thanks!
And yeah, it's better when you have more lift (the riser is tall enough that it becomes a potential interference thing), but sometimes you have to punt.
What happened here is the change to TRO has changed the whole dynamic of the steering linkage.
Using the dropped pitman arm AND dropped trackbar bracket is only called for when the tie-rod is in the stock location. They're designed to work together, so when you change one aspect from stock, you may have to deal with others.
In your picture you can clearly see the relationship between the trackbar and draglink is no longer parallel due to the now-higher location of the tie-rod.
But in some ways, you're on track to making it even better! You can kill two birds with one stone if you modify your lower trackbar mount now.
The solution is either going to be a custom trackbar drop to replace the off-the-shelf version (less desirable), or raise the lower mount just a little (very desirable). What you're looking for is to have the pivot points of the draglink and the pivot points of the trackbar equal distances from the ground (as a convenient point of reference) so that they travel in the same arc/plane.
A riser is too tall, and you probably only need the first hole anyway. You could then cut off the remaining riser plate so that your clearance is not compromised.
But a custom lower mount would let you fine-tune your trackbar location and do two things. Bring the bars back to parallel (which would dictate the ultimate height of the new mount) AND give you that clearance you need at the lower bolt vs tie-rod location.
So while you can shorten the bolt and use a low-profile nut to gain the tie-rod clearance, you would still have a misalignment issue to take care of.
And believe me, you WILL feel the misalignment you have when driving the Bronco on the street.
Very slick looking in white like that by the way. Very cool.
But you definitely need to tackle the entire front end suspension and steering geometry as a single system that has several aspects that all have to play nice together if you want to get the best setup you can for driving.
