Update:
Ok, i feel like an idiot. Flame away! This was a stupid simple fix. As i was surfing images on Google for ideas to solve this it dawned on me. Switch the mounts stupid. Flipped the tie rod mount from drivers side to passenger side, axle mount from over the pumpkin to over open axle tube. Duh!
Spent the afternoon fabricating a tower to weld to the axle, similar to diy4x mount sort of. Gonna use some 1" thick bar stock 2"wide. My ram requires a 1" hole to pin to. Cut to length, gonna weld to axle and then I'm gonna slip a piece of 2" ID x .25wall square tube over that with the sides at the bottom bent out to wrap around the axle tube some. Slit and bend in the top, few holes to plug weld to the bar stock also. Weld it all the way around and that thing shouldn't be going anywhere.
I already had a failure with the axle mount side prior to this so i have tabs welded to the tie rod already. Didn't have to change this, i simply disconnected it and spun the tie rod 180 degrees. Came out exactly where i needed.
Switch my hoses around and i should be good to go. I'll have it buttoned up tomorrow.
Thinking i may fabricate some sort of skid plate to protect the ram. I do a lot of cross country through the woods type of stuff and have a bad habit of "when in doubt, throttle out" which isn't always the smartest thing to do but it sure is fun!!
