Seeing as you have a 250, did you get the center bracket drops?
or are you just using the spring lift on the outside?

If you dont have the TTB pivot drops, dont even put the lift on till you get them.

As to where to get the pitman arm, not sure.

x2 with talyn, if you need pivoit i may have a set for a 4in lift and will look may have 4 in pit man. when you do the lift its a good idea to do a fitted leaf in front as well to help with weight of are 7.3

i have already installed the drop pivots i did that when i did the 3 inch lift they have camber nuts on them so you can adjust them from 2-4" of lift cause i knew i wanted to go to 4" springs one day. part of the 3 inch lift is a add-a-leave and i will be throwing that into the lift springs as well to help deal with the weight. i hope you have one you can make me a deal on. dont really wanna pay retail plus their outrageous shipping cost.
