I figured that, I'm sure the sway bar / power rack combo would have been perfect with a stock layout. In hind sight, I should have tested it lock to lock while the power steering pump was powered up before driving it.

I was thinking about doing the same thing. I figured I would get the "wood bed" ( I'm using decking material) done first, get a full load on it and see how the bump stops work in that position, but I have a feeling the brackets will need to be moved up as you suggested. I'm happy with the 3/5 drop and 20's. trying to avoid a C notch at all costs.

I have nothing "old" to compare it to as I never drove the truck before the mods. But, with the help of this thread, NLE parts and my limited knowledge of chassis set-up from my road racing days...its pretty dam fun to drive with the TR6060!
