Then i got the tie rod made up by a local Jeep shop. the tie rod ends are a straight shaft so can be mounted from the top or bottom. I mounted mine from the bottom to clear the springs on a 3" dropped axle. easy conversion. good luck

Your reply came in while I was typing.
Sounds like a good solution. Those TRE's won't work with my tie rod without a sleeve. A tapered reamer isn't too much so if the aftermarket TRE's have the right thread they're an option. Right now my factory tre's are tight.
Do you remember how far off the bolt holes were between spindle and 3/4t arm? Do you still have the 3/4 ton parts?
