Not sure what to do here.

I bought these lift spindles to do the 2wd lift. I'm not sure what to do with the drivers side one. The upper ball joint hole isn't quite centered, but I think shims with the upper control arm can correct it. The tie rod hole is my concern. I want to do like this guy ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=447061 ) did buy re-drilling the taper from the top to keep the steering geometry closer to stock. I'm afraid if I re-drill this that I am really going to be getting close to the danger zone. From the above thread he removed a 1/4" of material from the top side due to the stock tie rod being larger than the 88-98 tie rod plus the taper going the other direction. I feel that if I re-drill the hole for the taper that and run with that I might hit something and bust it out or fracture the spindle where the tie rod is bolted. I'm not sure what kind of stress the steering is under with normal driving and how it's effected when I hit bumps, pot holes, ect. I don't know if I should try to send it back or have it welded up solid with a cast iron rod and re-drilled. I bought them off of Ebay. They are a chassis tech part. I've heard that their customer service sucks, but I haven't tried getting a hold of them yet. The passenger side spindle is centered on all of the holes.
