Trac bar drop bracket

Hey guys- I have a 79 F-150 4X4 that currently has a 3 inch lift under it with the drop pittman arm, c-bushings, and a 3 inch drop trac bar bracket installed. But, when I lifted the rear of the truck, it ended up 1 inch higher than the front. So, I have purchased a set of four inch lift coils for the front of the truck. I have pretty much decided that I won't need to install different c-bushings (four degrees is enough for a four inch lift). The three inch drop pittman arm also should be adequate for steering alignment with the added inch of lift. On the other hand, I am concerned about the trac rod. I can't seem to find a four inch drop bracket for it anywhere. I have calculated that the added inch of lift will shift the axle only 0.20 inch, is that too much to be aligned or to track correctly? If any one knows where I could find one of these brackets, their help would be greatly appretiated-thanks
