I'm almost too embarrassed to ask for more help since that last fiasco. On my 88 I want to rebuild the front end. It h as a 2.5 spring lift on it. I have a drop pitman arm and need to order the tie rods but I am not used to this suspension setup. I googled and looked on Rockauto but need to order from Amazon to kill an account credit.

I saw this pic (Nevermind the comment about having the third setup, I got this pic from Google and I have the middle bar setup)

1. Does anyone know what the part number would be for that middle tie rod bar setup? I think its MOOG DS893

2. I know I need the tie rods that attach to the pitman arm and steering knuckle. Amazon doesn't know the ES027L but they do have a Proforged 104-10017 and Proforged 104-10018. Will the Pro-forge be ok?

3. For the Right side, I just need 1 of the Moog ES2011R

Does that sound about right?
 
drag link goes from steering box to steering arm on knuckle, tie rods go from knuckle to knuckle,
 
stock pitman and steering arm on the box and axle knuckle .

with 2.5" lift your fine with that combo . i think going drop pitman arm on the box will be over corrected .

the drag link needs a small amount of slop down to the rear at ride height . way to many people over correct and run in to problems .
