Rockauto has them listed http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php

Any good auto parts store should be able to help you out. Q V10, V8, or Oil burner? any lift.

Why? There is nothing wrong with the pitman arm on a 4x4. You have to remove it from either the box or the drag link anyway. I vote for removing it from from the box. I just did this on mine.

How many miles on truck? May need to check tie rod ends as well to make sure you get the full benefit out of the new box.

Well it has roughly 180k but I had the front end rebuilt probly 7k ago. I am kinda restoring the truck to a clean play truck.. but my next project well if I decide to. Is to turn the front axle assembly into manual locking hubs.. I found a kit.. just not sure if its the best idea
