I'm one of them and I still don't have mine figured out even after buying the ( other ) type of bracket where you drill out the threads on the bottom of the gear box. It does add a little more clearance which actually allowed me to put the pitman arm on, where I couldn't before, But I'm having the exact same issue as the OP.
I know this thread is two years old, but I was hoping TOM ( OP ) figured out a solution to clearance issue.
I'm using the original center link and tierods, I replaced the pitman arm with a Moog. And I have 2" drop spindles with disk brakes. Still 6 lug. fyi

If I had a shorter Pitman arm and a repositioned idler arm just an inch shorter. I would be fine, but I can't locate a shorter pitman arm.
