Where do i find a drop pitman arm?

I got some 10" lift springs for my 95 f250 and now i need to work on steering. Does anyone know where i can get a pitman arm for a lift this big?

The biggest one that skyjacker or anyone else makes (that i have been able to find) is for an 8" lift. If i have a 12 inch lift will it still work? What are my other steering options?

the biggest one that i know of for a 95 250 is a 6" spring not an 8.they make an 8" one but its for a truck thats another year.i got the 6" springs for my truck then i added a 3" body lift.you may get the 12" springs to work but they wont just bolt right up.you will have to fab all kinds of things.

when i was looking for springs i called competition leaf springs and asked them for prices on lift springs for specifically a 95 f350. He said they offer 10 and 12 inch springs.

you can use a 6" drop arm with a 10" lift. obviously not the optimal thing to do but will work. best thing to do is try and run a crossover steering setup. talk to cleatus, he had a OBS powerstroke with mucho lift and crossover steer. gotta have the knuckle milled and the drilled and then tapped for studs
