I'm a newbie here and I realize this is an old thread, but part, if not all your tie rod clearance problems are because the center-link needs to be swapped end for end.
Also check the taper in the steering arms to be sure you don't need to turn the rod ends over and insert from the bottom instead of the top.
If they are installed wrong it can result in sloppy steering, possible bumpsteer and even rod end failure.
BTW, I'm a retired forklift, automotive and small engine mechanic.
Not to mention an active MOPAR nut.

Did anyone figure out the solution with the tie rods being mounted on the bottom so the tie rod angle is not so sharp.?

For the guys that did the Dakota drop spindles, Did you use the parts off the Dakota , bearings, rotors, calipers, caliper brackets ect. I scored some billtech 2600 first gen dakota drop spindles and wonder if I need to go to the junkyard for those parts

I used original inner tierods custom sleeves and heim joints for the outer. Did that fix the bump steer? Did you have any bump steer?

Another great and useful thread ruined thanks to Photobucket's greed.

I'm glad I never used photobucket. it does sux for those who do searches for some great tech info only to be screwed by lack of photos.
Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth. Some of us are so open minded they only see their View
