Amazing how much lower your drag link is than your tie-rod. I am assuming you meant tie-rod, not axle?
The pan you have in the pics is the pan that I have a present. Have you ever done the clean-out cover? I did and found out the bolts are not held in place so how do you tighten it up when you have no access to the inside to hold the bolt head? I ended up getting studs with Allen key openings in the bottom and double nutting the other end (inside the pan). Also did not change the gasket inside the pan. The whole deal leaks like crazy so I plan on getting back in there at some point
