Default Drop Pitman Arm for 8" lift?

I currently have a 5" suspension lift kit that came with a drop pitman arm to accommodate the height difference. I am upgrading to a 8" suspension lift and in doing so one of the things I was going to order was a new pitman arm. TGC has a pitman arm that says it can be used for a 3.5" - 8" lift. My question is since a pitman arm can accommodate such a range and I already have a drop pitman arm that works for a 5" lift (right in the middle of 3.5" and 8") would the one I have end up being the same as the new one? In other words do I even need to order a new one or will the one I have work?

Skyjacker DA600 is for 6"-8" of lift. The 5" drop pitman arm just moves the ball and stud from the top to the bottom of the pitman arm and has about a 3" drop. The DA600 has about a 6" drop to it.

Do you know anything about the TGC drop pitman arm? Where can I buy the skyjacker?

Here's one. They also have other manufacturers there, might be able to find something a bit less expensive..... (200 bucks......)
