Question Adjusting Draglink?

I just installed a 4" Tuff Country lift w/ a raised steering arm on my '84 K20. This threw off the steering geometry just a tad. :p Namely the steering wheel is no longer centered with the wheels pointed straight. I've already taken the draglink out of the steering arm (while tires are pointed straight) and found that it needs to be lengthened about 1/4" or so. I've got the "clamps" loosened from the center of the draglink, where you'd turn it out to adjust the length. So far so good I think...

Question is - what did you guys use to turn it out? A pipe wrench to hold the end nearest the pitman arm & another pipe wrench to turn it? That's about all I can come up with. Any better methods?

(Excuse all the questions, but I am sorta learning this stuff by trial & error! Hopefully less of the latter. )
