Issues with Bump Steer After Upgrading and Lifting

I bet he needs a bracket again

His mounting locations are stock, no brackets are needed.

Mine lifted about the same with stock control arms, no brackets, non flipped draglink and I don’t have bump steers.

Starts going through the basic before throwing parts at it.

Checks torque. Maybe undo and retorque everything with truck on the ground.
Checks TREs.
Center both axles.
Check toes.
Center steering wheel.

Just got done checking almost all this. Everything is torqued to spec, Both axles are center as I can get them by measuring. Toe was just done about 3 weeks ago by a shop with a machine.

This is the only thing I noticed that looks odd. Both my upper ball joints seem to sit a little different form each other, notice the gap between the knuckle and ball joint. The bump steer is also more noticeable when taking turns and there's a bump. Just noticed my spring is a little off too.

My Drag link and Track Bar are almost perfectly parallel too. So I can't use a bracket.

I recently did an axle upgrade. Found couple of holes oversized, 16mm instead of 14.3mm. Initial ride was very good, gradually built up into bump steer, verify your hardware/holes are correctly sized and not worn out. Proper torque only works for so long.
