Looking at it I think I may be able to make a new drag link for the steering box which is bent downwards. This would drop it below the level of the upper wishbone. Possibly flipping the orientation of the inner tie rod ball joints. I would prefer to also use a bump steer kit to lower the tie rods but, as Alex mentioned, big calipers would no longer fit. I may also have to lengthen the lower steering arm to pull it back from the coil-over unit which would have the effect of increasing steering rate. Would people want this?
Otherwise, a rack is the other solution but would involve mods to column etc etc.

Why do you think my idea is good for stock height? I still have to determine wishbone locations, probably raising the lower pivot point above the pan, although this would make the frame more complicated unless the pan was cut for clearance. Is this an option people would be happy with?
