Yes i just put the spindles on my original setup with fox inner and outer. So if I go with bumpsteer kit, can i stay with the fox inner?Let’s back up in time here and tell us how you did the swap. If you just popped the spindles on and are reusing the fox inner and outer tie rods then yes they will be too short. Your options are Maximum Motorsports kit or swap the inner tie rods on your Fox rack to SN95 (they have the same thread) and then you will need SN95 outlets due to the metric threads of the SN95 parts.
So if I purchase these https://shorturl.at/NXn9V , they bolt directly onto the Fox rack and provide the extra length I need?Just use any of the longer rack rods like a T bird has or newer Mustang has Air rooster even
Even the old manual steer Pinto ones will screw onto the rack's sector shaft

Right well that kit includes both inner and outer for sn95. I just did the string method to get a basline alignment and I have about 1" of thread engagement on the drive and 1 1/4 " on the passenger. Is that enough?No. SN95 tie rods are metric. Fox are SAE. You’d need to swap the inner tie rods as well to SN95 to run those.
Toe in after SN95 spindle swap is common. The mount points move out about 1”. I experienced this with my car, and it’s a common complaint from what I’ve seen on boards/forums.
However from what I’ve seen, most folks have had enough thread to adjust out the outer tie rods, and still have enough thread engagement. This is what I did on my car and I’ve seen others do this as well. 12 turns is the rough amount to move the tie rod outer, out.
Really what you need to do is install the others loosely on the spindle. Thread the outers out and eyeball a close alignment with the tires on. Then, disconnect the outers from the spindle, run a piece of tape where the threads enter the tie rod and remove it. You can then see how much thread engagement you have and determine if you need to address it buy buying additional parts.
Another concern is if the steering rack is centered. If it’s not it’s possible to run out of threads on one side and have enough on the other. Why both sides need to be checked
I would likely buy the MM bumpsteer kit as a buy-once, cry-once upgrade. The problem with bumpsteer kits are that you really need to measure bumpsteer to set them properly. Eyeballing based on reference points isn’t the best method but it will get you close.
