Unclear how to install the steering arms.

The flat steering arms that came in this kit require the use of spacers to clear the spindle. Nothing indicating this however the great tech support explained. Maybe a sheet of instructions could explain this and I would not have to wait so long on hold for a simple question

Hi, I have a couple of questions... Firstly, other than the length of the tie rod, will this kit work with item 916-39516 (47 inch I beam axle kit) and if so, could I substitute a tie rod that is one inch shorter.

This kit was recommended for Axle kit 91639506. However, the steering arms are not dropped enough to clear the top radius rod. They are 1 3/4". They need to be at least 2" to 2 1/2" drop. I would rather not heat and bend the steering arms. Can I return the steering arms and have you send me the correct dropped ones?

The instructions say to replace the pre-installed inside brake rotor bearing race with the provided one. They appear to be identical. Why must it be replaced?
