Full width D44 guys, show your axle side track bar bracket

I am struggling with creative ideas on how to do my axle side panhard mount for my full width ford HP d44 front. I'm running the weld on wedges housing and trying to make it equal length and angle to the drag link but that puts the axle side end wanting to reside between the wedges and the knuckle. Looking for some creative inspiration!

So I'm at that point in my full-width HPD44 swap as well, but haven't set my drag link length yet, so the track bar will need to wait a little longer. That said, you have an additional 3" of width on that side with the wider axle, so can you push the mount out 3" (or more) towards the tire and then move the bottom similarly? Would that be enough to clear the wedges and maybe even line you up with the factory HPD44 track bar mount, which is part of the wedge? Alternatively, what's wrong with having the track bar terminate between the inner knuckle "C" and the wedges? You could make a bracket that not only anchors the track bar, but also reinforces the inner "C".

Seeing Mad's post made me wonder if you're running your wedges at EB width (like I am) or spacing out the coil buckets to run them at F150 width? If the latter, then that doesn't leave a lot of room between the wedges and inner C's.
