The steering gear center high point will dictate the angle of the pitman arm. I don't know how your pitman arm is keyed to the steering gear shaft but you may be able to choose a different angle. When I rebuilt the front axle on my truck, I replaced the drag link due to worn ball/socket ends. I bought an adjustable drag link with the correct tapers and adjustability in the original length. I centered the steering gear with no drag link connected, centered the front wheels, then adjusted the drag link to fit the distance between the pitman arm and the steering arm.
