Default High steer with stock knuckles?

hey guys, I was just wondering if it would be possible to do a high steer with the stock knuckles. Some kits have to drill the drag link hole to flip it over, so I thought, could we do the same with both tie-rod holes to flip it over too. With the curbs the tie-rod ends have, I'm pretty sure it would clear the drag link tab on the right knuckle, and this way, doing a very cheap high steer.

I have seen sleeves on the synergy site for the drag link. I don't know if the taper of the drag link flip kit is the same as the tie-rod ends, but if it is, I guess it should do it.

here the link of the sleeve.

So what's your thoughts on this?

I drilled and used bolts on mine when i flipped the drag. I tried to do the tie rod but it didnt clear. If i used the perfect size bolt and a jam nut it might.. But if i recall correctly even then mine may not work as i have fairly large od tube. I should look at it again to see if i could make it work.

Let's keep our terminology right... what you'd like to do is flip your tie rod.

Nothing else to add, MAERTZ identified the issue.
