    Hey all, I've dropped my truck on stock Mighty Max springs but have realized that my steering rods (specifically the rod end adjuster) is binding against the steering system. This is because in order to fit the tie rods on 83 front knuckles I had to top mount the tie rod instead of bottom mount. How can i flip this without compromising safety?

    I'll post one later today after work, but if I go back to original spindles I'll lose the discs and be back with shitty drums so I'd super prefer not to do that

    Swap to spindles from a 75-78 that had disc brakes?

    I searched for them for about a month and couldn't find any at all so I got these because the thread about the swap says they're a direct swap as long as you switch left and right. They fit great but the tie rod end is a problem
