Re: rear suspension question
i thought the super track bar went under the trailing arm like the shock relocator bracket does. your problem is the bar hits the frame right, because in your first pic the trailing arm looks higher than the frame so obviously if the track bar was on in the 1st pic it would hit the frame. moving the tracking bar below the trailing arm would give you clearance. i'm sure you read the instructions right though so i don't know.

Re: rear suspension question
I've seen the track bar moved to the side of the trailing arm that's toward the center of the vehicle. You're going to have problems with the track bar hitting the frame before your axle runs out of notch to move up in to with the ECE piece. I've seen guys make their notch longer to accomodate for the bar and I've seen the bar moved to the side. I think CPP sells a bar that is already set up to be mounted on the side of the arm that would save you some fab time. I'd also get those brake lines moved before they get pinched off by contact with the frame.

Re: rear suspension question
The track bar is correct for the instructions. I just finished mine last weekend.
I would think a little fab and it could work from the bottom side. I got some 3/8" angle iron and plan to make my own shock mounts they could also carry the bar bracket also just a thought.

Re: rear suspension question
you need some lowering blocks to get the axle to go in to c-notch and have the brackets under the blocks so it doesn't get in the way of the frame

Re: rear suspension question
I used the same bolt-in notch as you and I made a set of lowering blocks out of 2x2 square tubing. When the axle sets on the bumpstop in the notch, there is just enough clearance.
