Ok when I put the 2" drop suspension on I have a 2" drop Radius bar bracket that goes on the frame will the other parts of the steering have to b modified or can I just put the standard drag link and tie rods back on
Thanks

Do you mean track bar drop bracket???You got a 4x4, right? Your terminology is discombobulated. Please clarify. Thanks... help us to help you.

C'mon dude. Show us some courtesy and use punctuation. Your're probably on a cell phone thus the laziness in using them.

Yes I'm going to put a 2" lift on my truck.
Gonna put the 2" track bar bracket on ok there.
How about when I put the drag link on do I have to lenghten it at all or can I just buy new and put it on.
I know I have to buy a new pitman arm cant find it yet mostly for a 4' drop or more will find one somewhere

I get it now.My rig used to have a 2-inch lift (Rancho springs) and it did not need a dropped pitman arm nor a trackbar drop bracket.
I do recommend however that you change your 77's Y-style steering to the 78-79 T-style steering (drag link and tie rods). There are fewer moving parts, less prone to bumpsteer, and it would be needed if ya ever decide to go any higher.
