Pitman arms that are for lifts, are they longer or angled different from stock pitman arms?

Thank you very much, I got ripped off. The one I got on ebay stated for up to 6.5" lift and I just mocked it up and looks the same. How much longer than stock should it be for my RC4.5"X series short arm? Plus a 1"coil spacer for leveling. And thank you very much for responding

pictures are very helpful.. as far as describing your purchased pitman arm compared to your factory one.

Also your drop pitman arm choice should be based not only on amount of lift but also the style of track bar your running.... some track bar brackets can drop the frame side mount more than factory or pull it closer to the frame compared to the factory mount.... Keeping in mind that when installed your track bar and steering link (for lack of better words) should be at a similar angle for best steering and handling.
