summit lists them, you have to look up a lift kit for your application and then go under suggested parts... but be warned drop pitmans can throw steering geometry way out of wack, i did 6" of lift and they sent me the wrong drop arm, the box was labeled for a 4" kit. well i could turn to the right like i was in a little euro compact and turned to the left like a semi or worse. i almost completely solved my problem by buying the spacer for the steering arm that bolts to the knuckle and switching back to the factory pitman arm, i rightfully should take it to a machine shop and have a 1/4 inch shaved off of the block or so to bring everything back to true center w/o buying a $250 adjustable draglink. but the drop arm, will solve bump steer issues but it also changes lateral movement of the drag link. have you driven the truck with the old pitman arm? the block is only like 3.5 inches and i've got 3" of lift on you. if you havent driven it i'd advise you do... wish i did

My 2" Skyjacker drop pitman has been working great for three years, and it corrected the lift-induced bump steer it had before. Just be advised getting that pitman arm off can be a real bitch. Took a 13-ton puller to separate mine. In retrospect, I'd have been dollars and time ahead if I just took the cutoff wheel to it like I did with the one on the 3rd Gen.
