You can do a dropped crossmember, it will drop it another 1.5"
This is the one I built for XXL and his installation process: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=137398

Yes there are issues with the steering if you drop the crossmember with any method. See the link to XXL's thread I listed. Anything else, no.
As far as I know, Turner's has closed their doors.

That doesn't involve steering linkage modification? There isn't any that I know of.
