The actual drop is not 4 extra inches on a 4” dropped axle. Only about 2 to 2.5. Any hot rodder worth their salt can drop the stock steering arms that much. You could also taper the tie rod holes half way from the other direction if you want to flip the tie rod over for needed clearance.

You might want to read up on who has the best reputation for good work before sending off your axle. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.
