Pitman arm question

Ok I have a 74 F250 4x4 Recently did the power steering conversion to a 78 steering box! Now I put a Front disk brake dana 44 out of a 77 f250 in it. My question is do I need a Drop pitman arm to get my centerlink in a strait line? Cause the pitman arm is like 2 inches higher than the steerig arm? And also I plan on doing the skyjacker 4in lift how much of a drop pitman arm will I need for this?

I think a steering lift block may be your answer.
