Default Spindles, balls and steering arms for dropped axle

I dropped the axle 4 inches on my stock A . Still using mechanical Brakes.
Now I need dropped steering arms. The only dropped dropped steering arms I can find are 35-48. That means I have to change my spindles to use these. When I do that my backing plates will not fit. Even if I can re-drill them, the tie rod and drag link has regular ball joints so I will have to have a new tie rod and drag link. I am not sure if I can get a drag link with a Model A fitting to go over the steering rod (Draglink) and regular tie rod ball joint on the other.

It seems to me there is a better and less expensive way to hook up my steering than to do all of this. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong besides saying I should not drop my axle?
