1981 K10 Drop Pitman Needed

Have a 3 inch body and 3 in suspension.

Is there a Certian Drop pitman I need?

Steering is popping and I think reason is because the drag links are no horizontal and its putting a bind on the joints!

I'd look for the drop pitman arm. I just removed my stock steering arm what a pain. I had to weld the nuts to the studs and remove the studs to get the arm off, I orderd new studs from http://mad4wd.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=268

How much raise in the arm would this make? much of a difference?
