Alright, so a while back I posted that I bought a 2500HD with a 6" lift, but the angles of the CVs were all jacked up and kept cutting boots. Long story short, I had a BDS 4.5" lift put on.

And now my turning radius has increased by about 5 feet
This is an issue since I use the truck to pull a camper. I called BDS and they said that they are aware of the issue, but couldn't offer a fix for it..
my question is this: if I were to replace the Pittman and idler arms with 2" drop ones, would that correct my angles and have the tie rods still push left & right while staying parallel to the ground?
Currently they push toward the ground when you go full lock either direction.

I've got nothing. But that looks much better than when you bought it

Ha thanks.
I'm even having a hard time find aftermarket idler and Pittman arms...

Still no one??
There isn't a company that makes drop pitman or idler arms to bring the center link down and correct tie rod geometry?

This might be why no one really uses lifted trucks to tow campers

Yeah but regardless, not being able to turn in a cul de sac without a 3-point has to be an issue to someone else...
I can't even make it through normal fast food drive throughs without a 3-point turn...

I don't think that would be acceptable for a dd

I agree.
Apparently the only option I can find is to order different spindles through BDS get those installed.
They said it'd be an extra $450 with no return/core on the ones I already bought from them.
It seems to me though a drop pitman and idler would fix it, but there doesn't seem to be a company that offers them.
