bigdave160 read the detailed info in the link i provided .

and the drop drag link thing has just never been the best used item . . when rolling in normal sweeping motion it gets in weird angles .

some guys get lucky some dont with them .

dana 60 lift blocks should never be used there way to crappy a casting and to long on the studs .

drop pitman arm is best and if more is needed and still push/pull steering is used try a dodge arm on the axle with the tapper redone for top load and gm size . its a cheep raised arm for the axle .

anymore than these few options it should be crossover for best results .

pic 1 is dodge arm

pic 2 is drop pitman arm 2-3" lift used .
