Default Pitman arm problem.

Hiya guys.
I need a bit of assistance with this one.
I am about to lift my XJ from the current 3 inches to 6 inches.
I want to fit a longer pitman arm but my XJ is a right hand drive UK model.
I have been told the drop pitman arms from various suppliers in the US are a different shape on the lhd to the rhd.
Any ideas guys?
I need to sort this problem out as quick as possible.
