William..........bam got ya, lol. Do you not know how to just call a product manufacture (Skyjacker) and ask a simple question? The 6" rear springs do...

Quite trying to go so cheap, steering block is a FAIL just waiting to happen. Get a better deal IMO using a (drop pitman arm) and a (adjustable steering link) from Skyjacker/Summit.

The above links get you in the ball park, and you have to run down the exact applications for your truck. Especially if you have done the steering box swap.
I would just give you that red POS, but I am going to throw it in the pond to hold down my trout lines....and the other is coming off and going on the other end of the line. lol I bought that axle for spare parts and am not reusing the steering block, that's for sure. That steering block is about as smart as front blocks under your leaf springs....
The above recommendations are not the only way to go as far as steering modifications for a lift, but just some friendly advice. There may be others that have other opinions and that's fine.

I was not comparing the want or need for shims to fix the pinion angle to front blocks. I just think that the steering arm block is as a dumb idea as using blocks in the front as a lift.
I do not have a 73-77.4 low pinion D44 axle to compare the steering arm differences (if any) between it and a high pinion D44 and have no ides if the the block would fit.
Going to a Jy or just find a 77.5-79 F250 with a high pinion D44 axle and go look, might get you the answer.
Does your LP D44 steering knuckle have that curved steering piece on it now?

You could try talking to Skyjacker directly. They're out of Monroe, La. It was nice when I was stationed down there at Ft. Polk. It was only a two hour drive up there to get whatever I needed.
