Default wj knuckles on xj steering question

im gonna be putting wj knuckles/brakes on my xj in the next few weeks and i have a few concerns about what to do for steering. almost every writeup ive seen is either running offset tierod ends otk, or heims utk. now heres my question could heims be run otk or would the tierod need a bend in it to clear the diff cover? or would it be easier to get offset tierod ends to do it and then run heims only on the draglink?

Yes, you can run heims OTK. I ran it that way with a Solid diff cover.

It's CLOSE but it clears.
