First, thanks for choosing the WH product!
I have a couple of suggestions for starters.
I prefer keeping the angles lower, so I am more on board with either flipping the tie rod to the top or using a riser bar that gives more adjustability for the truck bar.
I don’t like losing the nice angle that you’re already achieving with the existing drop track bar bracket. So if we could end up keeping that, so much the better for now.
But if it ends up working in the end, weld it completely to the frame bracket. Don’t rely on the bolts.
First thing I would do, though, would be to loosen all the adjuster clamps and twist the tie rod “up” so that the grease fitting on the lower drag link and points up at the radiator. Roughly 60° from horizontal.
This does two things. It gives you a more natural steering movement between the two bars, but more importantly, for this discussion, slightly raises the angle of the drag link.
Not enough to make things parallel I don’t think, but better.
If the track bracket had a little more flat surface, you could simply drill a new hole, slightly higher up, and raise the upper end to better match the angle of the draglink. But that goes against my first feeling of keeping the angles as low as possible.
I like the TRO aspect, but I’m concerned that it would actually go too high and put the drag link in the opposite misalignment from where it is now.
Of course, you could take the tie rods out of the knuckles, and flip it over by way of a mock up, and eyeball things to see how reversing the tie rod, and putting it above the knuckle/steering arms would line things up.
Easy enough to do.
And as a final suggestion, as cool as it looks in metal, paint that sucker!
Unless I’m seeing it wrong on my phone, it looks like it’s still in bare metal. It is neither stainless or plated. It’s just regular old steel, or chrome-moly and will rust in short order sitting under a vehicle.
That’s about it for now. Definitely sit under there doing some mock up so you can see what does what.
