I'm not trying to defend Ridetech, but this issue can crop up on A-bodies in general if you are starting to put any real amount of positive caster in the alignment. With the A body being front steer, positive caster will raise the tie rod compared to the sway bar. For stock control arms, you can't really get anything above about 3* or so realistically, so it doesn't become much of an issue.

With aftermarket arms that have a couple degrees of caster built into them, and then also allow further adjustment, you start putting that tie rod near the sway bar. I was very close on my wife's Chevelle when we did GW copy arms on it and a hellwig sway bar.

This is why it's almost always best to purchase a single company's engineered kit instead of mixing and matching components. When you start doing that, you start doing hod rod things that may require alterations and fabrication, as the OP has discovered here.
