drop pitman arm

I have a 79 f250 3/4 ton 4 wd with a 6 inch susp. and 3 inch body lift. Does anybody know where I can find a drop pitman arm and a buddy of mine said I snapped a tie-rod, but i think it's the drag link. It bolts to the pitman arm? Thanks

with a lifted truck don't waste any more money on a crappy steering dsesign. It will just nickle and dime you to death, and you will still have a poor steering design. The solution is to convert to crossover steering, and be done with it once and for all. The bumpsteer will be gone, (if you don't think you have it, you have not driven one with crossover), the turning radius will be improved, and you will actually be able to steer when off-road. That short drag link binds too much at the angle it is forced to work at, and if the driver side suspension extends more than what it is now, the truck simply won't turn.
Spend the money on the crossover kit, and you will not be sorry.
