rolling on 35" with tons of clearance, could easily run 37"s
Interesting RHD. How about a few pics of the whole truck.
I think the cheap and easy way to get your pinion angle and caster degree back to normal is to build caster plates or buy 80 series caster plates. if you buy the plates from the 80 series they may need to be modified but they should work. For the pan hard bars build them with some heims. Metal Supermarket in Burnaby sells dom tubing. I used ballistic fab for my heims, bungs ect. This will make them adjustable. I would also recommend a three inch or so raise the top or bottom mounting point of one side to make the pan hard more level. As for your drag link I don't know any one that makes a drop pitman arm.
You could drill out your steer arm to accept a 9/16, 5/8 ect grade 8 bolt and run a heim on the top of your steer arm instead of the bottom. If so don't forget the safety washers for the heim. These are all just suggestions.
Take care.

Hi,
the 60 series arm should fit your box and they have more drop.
