Will the Superlift Pitman work for my application?

I'm going with 6" TC EZ ride springs up front hooked up to my "new" Dana 60. I've already replaced the sector shaft on my steering box. I now need to know if the DLE's (I think they are DLE's... how to you tell?) I got with my axle's crossover setup will attach to the Superlift pitman arm without any modification? I've seen online vendors that machine the superlift pitman for DLE's. Will I need that done? Here is a pic of my Drag Link Ends:

Yes, if you bought it from Summit, you'll need to get it machined.
I believe Chevy DLE:s have the same taper as Ford (1:8 ratio) but the Chevy DLE:s are bigger, so they will not be seated deep enough.
(I'm not 100% sure of this though, so maybe someone else can chime in )

And yes those looks like Chevy DLE:s, they get wider but thinner at the joint (I hope that made sense), and are of different lengths.
If you look under the dust-covers, you can see that they're made for bigger angles than TRE:s
