Welcome from Austria. Get a raised steering arm that is made for 6 inches lift. Buy new hardware too.

I had both on my truck, with 6ins of lift, before I went to crossover steering.

You'll best off to go to Crossover Steering. I installed the ORD kit on my K5. made a huge improvement in the handling.

You may or may not need both. I did not, in fact the two inch pitman with he 4 inch arm made mine worse.

Here a post on ck5 that gives a lot of info. Stephen owns Off Road Design and knows a few things about these trucks.

That depends on the usage of the truck though. It can be a lot of needless expense to go to if the truck doesn't spend a bunch of time offroad. For street driving, there's really no difference at all in handling, compared to stock steering that's in good shape with proper geometry.
