If you can find a proficient welder/machinist it shouldn't be much of a problem. The Ackerman principle will still play out if the tie rod attachment point is on the same plane. I don't know if you're familiar with older Corvettes, but they came 'factory equipped' with two sets of attachment holes for the tie rods for just such reasons.
You know as well as I do that the only impediment to progress is lack of funding. heheheheh
