Personally, I would just lengthen the track bar if it was me. But I would hate for you to try out your skills on something like a track bar. But if you get your skills up to the task, that can be done. But use some real good rod for that kind of stuff. Don't try doing it with 6011 or 6013. I use some stuff called Super Missile weld for that kind of thing, which will not let loose and has mort tensile strength than the material you are working with
