05+ axle swap Steering geometry

Ok for all you suspension gurus on here I have some questions. I recently just put a 06 front axle under my 99.5 F250. I installed icons 4.5in coils with fox 2.0 shocks. I also have superlift radius arms which allow adjustment for caster. Also have a icon adjustable trac bar. Overall the thing drives pretty well for being such a Frankenstein project. However I do have a question about the ball joint the trac bar connects to. I’ve attached a pic of the angle it sits at and am wondering if this is to much? Also I seem to have the axle centered from measuring from the frame to outside of each tire. And it seems my bump stops to the coils have different spaces. And the reason I’m posting this is I have a slight vibration and and very slight bump steer. All pics are attached any advice here would be awesome thanks!

Your track bar balljoint will sit like that on a lifted truck. The more you lift it the worse the angle gets. That's the reason Carli chose to angle the end of their bar. The balljoint end is not inline with the bar like it is on the factory bar. That Carli piece has an angle to it that allows the stud to sit closer to the center of the cup, closer to the way a stock height balljoint is with a factory bar.
