Adjustable Draglink

I finally got the front end of the 78 F-150 back together, and its higher than expected (wish I knew that before I ordered tires). I have an adjustable track bar installed, so with the axle centered again, the pitman arm is off to the right quite a bit. Did most people just run it like this, or did they get an adjustable draglink? I found one from superlift, but is $310 CDN. The drop pitman arm is installed, and its about 8" of lift in the front. I don't mind spending money to do it right, but I'm getting nickled and dimed to death now.

you should be able to clock your pitman arm around to where you want it. i know i can in 15 minute increments, just like clock.

15 min increments is every 90 degrees... thats way too much for him.
You will need a longer draglink...
How big is your pitman arm?

Or you can build your own adjustable drag link for less than $100.

The pitman arm is regular superlift, 4" drop, 6.5" centers. I'll check out the F-350 piece, hopefully it'll work for me. Thanks for all the help.
