For a '86-'87 Toyota 4x4....is anyone familiar with them?...are they available...i'm askin for my dad and a friend of ours...the friend said they should be available...they both have the older model Toyota's that have been lifted and believe using the drop pitman arm would help with the wear and tear on the other steering compnents....joints and such...i'm pretty mechanically UN-inclined....so any help would be appreciated.....

No. It wouldn't make any sense on that vehicle. You would also need a dropped idler arm to match, but then the steering angles would be out of whack with the control arm angles, leading to odd handling characteristics.
There are non-drop (flatter) pitmans for that steering box designed for use on straight axle swapped rigs, but that is a whole different ball game.
