Default Re: 6" A Arm Lift Kit - Tie rod rubbing against frame

Update, I finished the front suspension and added my 18" tires and stock wheels (23s come next week), and you guys were right, I now have a good half inch + under the tie rod, so fingers crossed I should be good there. Thanks for the help, and sorry for my ignorance!

After installing the tires, its obvious that I'm going to need to make some alignment adjustments once I finish the rear kit, specifically the toe alignment (pictures attached). The instructions say that I'll need to loosen the tie rod nuts to adjust the toe, which are pretty rusted. I don't have a large enough wrench for the nut, and had no luck with pliers. I'd prefer not to spend $70 on a new tie rod and ball joints unless it's absolutely necessary.

Do you guys know what size wrench I'd need for that nut? Also, I've never done an alignment so any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm guessing this is something that should be done once I get my larger tires installed?
