It means that instead of the tie rod mounting on the bottom of the knuckle it mounts on top of the knuckle for more ground clearance and better angles.

i thought that too the first time i saw steering setup like that. but it works well enough, and thats the best way to run the drag link with the track bar in the factory location

But wouldn't it now make a difference in ride clearance if the differential is still in the same area?
