I used the stock link even though the lift arms were used. It really does'nt matter since you cut off the part that's different between the two. I highly recommend the little Commando brand pin drill that Radio Shack carries for all precise drilling, it is top quality!

does it still toe-out a lot when the front suspension is compressed?
Check out my video...

That's neat! It looks like you have a lot of torque. Did you FET upgrade? Stage 2 motor with smallest pinion? I did the FET upgrade and it has a little more punch and speed now. I tried the two stack but lost reverse so I went back to single. The soldering required is VERY tricky.
My modded steering barely has any toe-out when compressed fully. When it was lifted with just RS arms the wheels literally aimed away from eachother when compressed, like they were turning opposite, it was terrible. The little knuckle arms I added position the steering pivot point of the knuckle in the right place, more inboard. I am 100% satisfied with the mod and so far has been flawless.

All it has is RS upgrades including the st2 motor with lowest gearing. I wish I had the skill to solder fets.
You think you have time to solder some fets in for me? I'm in California, so its not that far from you. It would probably take a couple days to ship.

I'd also like a TUT. I'm not sure where to glue or where to cut/trim.

Ditto. I think I can come up with what you did to eliminate the toe out (or atleast come close), but somemore details would be awesome. THe toe out is the one thing that bugs me about my F-150.
