By the way I was going to run 44's with a 3" body lift and once I got the front fenders on I realized that was a pipe dream. 40's will have to do or add another 4" of lift. Thanks for your help!

I'm running a '79 F250 Lowboy if that helps.
Hi, I am doing a ground up on a 79 F250 low boy 4x4. I re arched and added leafs to a Skyjacker 6" lift kid to be about an 8" lift. I bought the Skyjacker dropped pitman arm and the drop drag link. The components as you all know are for a 6" lift, I was able to get everything hooked up but it obviously is tight and borderline binding. I remember back in the early 80's there was a angled up steering arm, the piece with the 3 bolts into the steering axle tube. You know it's the arm the drag link hooks up too. Some even had a block you could put under this to "level out" the steering components. Sorry I don't know the name of the "steering axle tube" but thats all I could think of to call it, I think you get the picture. Does anyone know were to get this angled arm or one of those blocks?
