The brackets are for both (notice the two holes for mounting the axle ).
Measure the coils.
IIRC, the 4" lift coils are 17" long, the 6" coils are 19" (out of the truck).

yes, it was the whole kit including the shocks and drop pitman arm. I got the kit on a trade for two old rifles, a .22 pump action worth 200bucks and an old single shot bolt action 410 shotgun that i might have been able to get 100bucks for.
score!!!!!!

hello again fellas, i have been reading up on the guys who have been doing four inch lifts with six inch coils and some people have said that if you want the six inch lift, you need a special extreme drop pitman arm that don't come with the lift. well, i went out and looked at my lift to see where the brackets were mounted and sure nuff they were on the six inch hole. Now my question is, is this the right "extreme" drop pitman arm for the six inch lift?
thanks in advance
