3" would be the least amount of lift you would want along with 3" bump stops so your drag link doesn't hit your frame. Doing this and raising your track bar will put you back to stock geometry

I have a HD adjustable jks track bar fitted and 3" profender hydraulic bump stops. So you saying the flipped DL will correct my geometry and not make ot worse?

If you aren't having a problem, I would leave it alone myself. But the most important thing is that if you do the flip, make sure they stay parallel, if the angles cross at all, you could bring on some bump steer.

What do you mean stuffed? Any worn drag link end or tie rod end could cause the condition you're having, but so could a sticking steering stabilizer or even too much caster or a control arm issue. Also if you have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth while you watch the drag link ends, do they have play?

Yes the drag link has play when we turn the steering

Rotational play is totally normal. A shifting side to side or up and down means your TRE is worn out.

Looks OK to me. As long as the drag link and track bar are parallel to each other, it will fix bump-steer.
A right-hand-drive drag link is a good alternative than a drop-pitman arm, that can put extra stress on the steering box.
