So here's the deal- I did a WJ swap over the winter and ran it with stock steering for a while. Eventually relocated the track bar to utilize the higher steering arm of the WJ knuckle. Using Chevy TRE's I ran the drag link from the underside of the pitman to the topside of the WJ upper arm. The tie rod is currently on the topside of the lower arms. Unfortunately I didn't find out until it was too late that you can't run a straight tie rod with the chevy TRE's without losing a LOT of steering. So, I bent the rod slightly to clear the diff and coil mounts and went on my way....until I mounted the wheels. The bent tie rod caused the TRE's to roll forward, into the wheel. So, I twisted the tie rod down, hoping it would stop the TRE's from rolling, but they still do. I have tried various spacers jammed between the knuckle and TRE's to keep them from rolling with no luck. This is my DD so I can't have anything wearing thru and I am way over budget on this swap already. What would be the best way of fixing this issue without dumping hundreds of more $$$ into this? Get the Ballistic Fab inserts and run the tie tod UTK for a major loss of clearance? Any other options I'm not thinking of, short of new knuckles, some DOM, inserts and WJ TRE's? I definitely don't want wheel spacers or new wheels.
