Pretty sure with the style of arms you have that it's a known quantity. I know 4x4Labs keeps them written down in a file. So you tell them 60 series, Marlin/Allpro arms and they can do the rest. I know on mine we were off a bit because the steering arms are different due to the 6 stud business.
I assume you'll be using Marlin because of the style arms you have-call him and see if they have the lengths already.
The 60 vs 80 Pittman doesn't make enough length difference to matter. You will need to have a new taper cut I think. Even though the arms are sized for 80 series tie rod ends, the hole in the end of the Pittman is for 80 series drag link ends, and if I remember, on the 80 series the tierod ends have a different taper from the drag link ends, and the high steer kits use all tie rod ends. Not certain so ask Marlin or Luke or whoever.
