Default I'm tired of changing Pitman arms!

About 1 year ago, I installed a RC 5 inch lift on my 01 screw. I love the lift but I'm killing pitman arms and idler arms. My friend (who thankfully runs an alignment shop) and I are tired of beating our heads against a wall trying to solve the problem. We've tried finding drop center links. We've looked for drop pitman arms. Thankfully I've used moog products so I've only paid for them once but it's getting old replacing them every 3-4 months. Anybody out there have this problem before and been able to solve it? I'm running Nitto 35s. My truck and sanity thank you in advance for any help.

Replace the linkage with a rack and pinion.

When I had my 98 f150 with 6in BDS and 35" nittos I was changing idler and pitman arm every oil change and that was moog the cheaper brands would last 1000 miles.
