1972 suspension problem

i have a 72 f100 with 3" lowered i beams and airbagit tie rod extensions. They are so big that they are 1/4 inch from the tire which is too close for me. The pitman arm also rubs the tie rod and this is driving me crazy. Anyone have this issue? Solutions would be great. All new tie rod, center link, etc.

Being a 1/4" from the tire is fine. I have never heard or seen of such a problem with the pitman arm, so I can't help you there.
