Find a driveshaft shop, they should be able to build you one with the right joints and length for a decent price.
If you can get the F350 shaft with the double joint they can probably put that on the end of your stock shaft so it'll work with your t-case.

Wont work. The yoke from the transfer case for the 350 drive shaft is different than than the 250. I don't know anything about your truck but if it has a borg Warner 4407 transfer case, those 350 yokes are almost impossible to find. I found an after market one that I was able to modify to work.

A sway bar and track bar are different. It sounds like you have the track bar (panhard bar) that you need. With your lift you will need to buy (or make) a drop down bracket to go between the front crossmember and the mount on the inner end of the trackbar.

You can fix that by adjusting the drag link I think. My steering wheel and turning radius in one direction was off some also when I put mine in. I think I shortened mine by turning it in

if the steering wheel is 180 degrees out, the easiest way to fix it is to remove the column from the box, spin it 180, and put it back on.
i had to do it to the 88 when i rebuilt the column. i was not paying attention when i put it back in, and put it in 180 out.

Well drove it today, Done real good. Looking to buy some lock outs. Mine are different. Track bar is still off, Steering wheel is almost straight, It don't drive like its outta alignment, It does make a whining sound now though.Not sure if its Bearings, or maybe out of line a little.
