I have a drop pitman arm from my 5" lift I didn't use. PM me. As far as swaps maybe others can chime in, I've never swapped out front end parts except for a skyjacker adjustable track bar. I'll already tell you as well everybody here agrees that the Dana 44 for durability isn't that great and for bigger tires do a Dana 60 swap.

What island are you on? I'm on Oahu.
My 99 ram 1500 4x4 318cid just cost me about $2500 @ 4wheelparts to replace 4 ball joints, 3 tie rods, and a track bar. All because the previous owner wanted 35" tires on with a 7" lift. And the poor dana 44 was struggling. If you are running 31s or 33s with only a small kine lift you should be ok. But if you want 35s or bigger dana 60 is the way to go. That's what I've been looking for, just can't find one on this island.
