Question 68/694X4 project

I am putting a 69, K-10 drive train under a 68 suburban frame to build a pickup upon. I have a ball/socket-style front axel, drum brakes on all 4 corners. My question is, when raising the front end 4" how can I correct the steering? The standard steering arm used for a 4" lift for the open yoke 4WD will not bolt up. Anybody have a lift and the ball/socket axel?

There`s a drop drag link made,also.You have a`68 2wd Suburban frame?Is it coil or leaf rear suspension?Are the tops of the knuckle flat on the driver`s side where the upper ball-joints are?You could do a crossover steering conversion(www.offroaddesign.com).What body are you using?

Re: 68/694X4 project

if i read this correctly you are going to put a pickup on a burb chassis. burb and truck chassis are different.
