You can get a dropped draglink, places like Locktup 4x4, Superior Engineering and Snake Racing supply these.
Otherwise, if funds allow, you could replace the whole steering system with crossover or histeer.

none of which you suggested will work as he has put blocks under his leaves, therefore hi steer is not high enough, dropped link maintains original arm on the hub, which will clash with the 2 inch blocks. so the story is that you should get rid of them blocks, they are dodgy and probably cost more then they need to. second option is: you need to cut off the arm on the top of your hub that curves in and over your u bolts, and extend it up 2 inches so it can still sit above your leaves and not clash with anything as far as i know you cannot get anything that wil do it so its going to be a custom job, but simpla enough with a welder. seriously though, take the blocks out and get your leaves re sprung with 2 inches more curve in them. at least in the front.
