Perhaps this is an easy question for some, but this is my first F100 build using some aftermarket suspension parts so need a little direction. I'll attach some photos to go along with this so everyone can see what I'm looking at. That said, I'm looking for drag link that measures 12 1/2 inches from center of tie rod end to center of tie rod end and not really sure how to go about finding one. Is this a custom made drag link or maybe there's a production vehicle that has something this size already that I can use?
Here's some details in terms of the part I'm using which you'll see in the photos:

• PMT Fabrication 3" dropped axle
• Factory style F150 disc brakes (calipers/rotors)
• Posie Super Slide lowered leaf springs (stock mounts)
• CPP Power Steering Box kit (Toyota style) with CPP Pitman Arm, etc.
• Also worth noting, which you'll see, is the steering arm that the drag link connects to is routed differently than the stock style. Same type as the original but instead of running toward the front and curving around, it runs toward the pack and curves toward the front.
• The drag link you see connected in the picture is the one that came on the dropped axle when I purchased it which is obviously too short. It was on a 55' F100 - in case you were wondering...

Let me know your thoughts and if you have any other questions. Thanks in advance for your input - much appreciated!

 

I hate to make a comment on something I know nothing about, but looking at the steering arm that raps to the front it looks like that is for a drag link that moves left to right and not forward and back.. I just see how it would work even if you had the correct length drag link to connect the two?

 

Guess I'm not sure on that... It seems to function same as the factory steering arm, it just wraps around the back versus the front. The motion appears to be the same with the pitman arm moving the drag link front to back and back to front which turns the wheels from side to side.

 

Quick update.... Sounds like Mid-Fifties may have what I'm looking for. Just waiting for them to confirm the measurement before ordering. Will confirm back once I know for sure in case anyone else runs into this issue down the road.

 

Good luck, I hope it works out for you.
