Question New Pitman/Steering arm?

I am possibly thinking about putting a 5" RCD lift, a 3 inch body lift, rear spring spacers and torquing up the front torsion bar about 2 turns on my 97 Expedition. My question is, with this much lift will I need new steering arms made? I am planning to put 38's on it. The only thing I was worried about was the steering and if it would be able to handle turning that big of a tire up front. Thanks.

With over 4" of suspension lift you need a new pittman arm. Your putting on 5" and cranking the torsion bars so you will definitly need one. You should also put on a steering stabilizer if it's not included with the lift, it will be the best $30 bucks you ever spent on your truck.

Is there a specific company that makes one for my application or is that something that will need to be custom made?
