Steering Question..
I recently lifted my 76 and need a drop pitman arm. its a 6" lift and the only drop pitman arms a can find are for 4" lifts. because with the stock one i can drive but its really puttin a hurtin on my steerin linkage. Any companys i could go with?

Re: Steering Question..
I`ve never seen a drop pitman arm,only drag links and steering arms off the knuckle.The steering arms are sold as 4-6" lift.That`s what I always do.I don`t like the dropped drag link because it`s supposed to be straight and being bent causes more roll against the joints which makes increased side stress.

Re: Steering Question..
Get some pics posted of your current setup. www.wfoconcepts.com makes custom sterring setups and has great service to make sure it is the right setup for your rig.
Have you looked into doing a crossover setup?

Re: Steering Question..
I used a steering arm on a 6" lift and bump steer is about non-existent.The plan was for crossover/high steer,but I sold it.Did you center your steering box?
