I used my factoy YJ pitman arm and reamed it out. Although this does not solve your need for a 2" drop, I'm sure you could do the same with an aftermarket YJ arm.
I don't think there is anything that will just bolt up to your box and accept a 7/8 TRE. I am running a 3/4 heim at the pitman arm and TREs everywhere else. Just get you a Drop arm and take it to a machine shop and have them ream it for you. I had my d44 knuckles reamed to accept the 1-ton TREs and it only cost about $20 bucks per side.
since you've already drilled the 3/4 hole im assuming, you will have to buy another arm because the 1 ton TRE will require a 5/8" hole. Then get a 1.5" per foot reamer and go to work. Thats what i had to do on my xj's pitman arm. I broke a 5/8" bit and busted my reamer during that too. Damn drill was wore out and the chuck wobbled, trashed it and bought a new one. sorry for my rambling....
I was just about to suggest getting a waggy pitman and then reaming it... but looks like the above link will solve that for ya! If ya don't have a reamer, then that could be the way to go hassle free!
I use a stock TJ pitman arm on mine, im running 1-tons, 1-1/4" tie-rod/draglink, and full high-steer, SOA, and its perfect, no bump-steer, works great. Have some pics if you need them.
