40 Ford drop axle

[Sid]

I am thinking about sending my axle to Oakie Joe to have dropped. I dont want to go 4''. I am figuring about 3'' to 3 1/4''. Just not a fan of the fender lip even with the spindle. S the question is what are you guys doing about steering arms? I have heard 40 Ford arms are a little too short to heat and bend. I prefer to use the stock tie rod ends as opposed to drop thru bolt. Where are you folks getting your arms and any part numbers would help.
