They actually offer another updated kit with a thicker metal brace, new steel shaft brace vs the aluminum and now they offer a sealed bearing instead of the greaseable bronze bushing.
I can feel on the track bar where the nut seems to have made light contact, though it seems to be very minimal. However, it is worth noting that my Gladiator is a DD, with only light off-roading (camping, driving on the beach, etc). If you are doing more significant off-roading, especially with the sway bars disconnected for more flex, then I think a different track bar would be necessary.
I wouldnt bolt or fix anything to the steering shaft. If not constantly maintained I think this could lead to a dangerous situation. I would stiffen the frame the steering box is bolted to and get that bushing off that shaft.

Good callout. I hadn't seen the new sealed bearing until you mentioned it. That would be my preferred design if I were doing it again.
Hello, have you had any issues with the nut hitting the track bar?
