There's a bunch of different avenues you could take besides the obvious ..I've seen pics of where guys have reworked the oil pan at the drag link area to gain clearance but I'm not sure what the circumstances were for the need...Also, idealy the drag link should sit level in relationship to the vehicle...This is accomplished by shimming the idler up or down with washers between the mounting ears...Some aftermarket idle arm kits contain these washers...That might be something to check on also depending on where yours is at now...
