Tierod Clearance

So I have an OTK setup and looking to change my steering. The current full length straight tie rod still hits the sway bar brackets and etc. a little. It's sleeved and crap so I think if I go to an OEM type it should clear that but the other problem is the trac bar bracket pokes down right behind it at full bump and after I move the axle back where it should be, it may be a big problem. Anyway, I'm looking for ideas on tierods that could clear/modify to clear more and if other people have had similair problems. I was thinking of straightening out one of the bends in the zj one but haven't got my hands on one yet to find out.

Heres a picture to see it's not factory locations so I'm focusing on the steering now. Track bar bracket is stock height so I can't raise it anymore. Also it has less lift now and a bent trac bar

Just relized I somehow posted this in MJ tech sorry please move to modified tech

Ruffstuff has some offeset tierods you could use.

This... or you could put a slight bend in your tierod. I've had one in mine for over 2 years and my steering has no problems whatsoever..

He ^^knew, but I meant Tie rod ENDS, not tie rod, but yes you can bent that as well.

Mine did the same thing ( rusty's ) ended up cutting the spring pad bracket as close to the spring as I could. ( beteween the tie rod & spring bracket. That did the job, I have full steer.
