Have a look at the angle between your drag link and tie rod, those are supposed to be as close to parallel as possible. Now look at your pitman arm and see how much drop you need to get those arms parallel or close to.

If you need any more the 2" then high steer is the better solution.

Yep, I have one in the shed..

Unless your running stupid lift, the thing interferes with the r/h spring on full compression l/h down..

Looks like their 5 inch which consists of the 3 inch springs and 2 inch shackle reversal.
