Default tie rod hitting the front radius rods

My 34 is lowered, it has modified arms on the back of both the spindles for the more modern tie rod ends. The tie rod ends are attached to each other by a tie rod running under the the two front radius rods. The bottom of the two radius rods have been clearanced (cut) so the tie rod can move under the radius arms, but still when turning the steering wheel to both extremes the tie rod binds on the back of the clearanced area, preventing the steering from full movement.
Is there a special dropped set of adapter arms for the rear of the spindles that will drop the tie rod and ends? At this time the rod is 6" from the ground and hides behind the I-beam nicely. Do I have to extend the clearanced area under the radius arms? Smaller diameter tie rod? Who has what I need to correct this problem?
