Ok, I looked at my truck and took some pictures for everyone's enjoyment. It turns out that I do have the elevated tie rod mount point as can be seen. Still, if you look at the whole thing and start pushing on it, you can see that because there are ball joints all around rathe than just a pivot on the idler arm, there will be some twisting with the resulting change in geometry. I guess I'll go with the TC arm when the new arm dies and they stop replacing it under warranty or I get sick of replacing it. :-)
