Highboy Dana 60 conversion help

Hello, I have a 1976 f250 highboy with a king pin dana 60 with cross over steering. I just purchased a 2 inch lift. What is the most right way to correct the steering? Dropped pitman? 2 inch steering arm spacer? Thanks

A 2" lift might not even really drive different than stock. I have a 4" lift and went with crossover steering for my D60. The bar is like straight across. If you were to do anything a drop pitman arm would be the easiest and probably the safest.

I have a 2" lift with my Dana 60 front, crossover steering. My tie rod end is within a 1/2" of the bottom of the frame. At the most a drop pitman may be required but I doubt it.
