pitman arm& transfercase

[ownedueasy]

ok was doing a 4x4 swap/lift(5ish-6inches) at the same time on my 92 mj, and after the front end is under it i don't have all my steering radius i use to have for some reason. all my steering components are stock 2wd. was wondering what pitman arm i needed to fix this problem?

 

and my trasnfercae came out of a yj, the speedo plugin isnt the same, and the transfercase won't shift, ive pried on the linkage(at the back) beat on it wiggled it and it won't move? any help is appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

There is no difference between 2WD steering and 4WD steering. The pitman arm is the same.

 

As to the transfer case, what are you using for a shift linkage? The YJ linkage is very different from the XJ/MJ linkage and works in the reverse direction. In other words, you may be pushing when you should be pulling.

I just did my 5.5 inch lift and I didn't need a drop pitman. I don't think you need one. the only thing i had to change in the front end was a adjustable track bar.

Track bar is installed already, axle is corrected under the truck. But I still count make a turn with it. I also put adjustable loweres on my truck.

 

And eagle would I need a pitman arm with that much lift?

 

I'm using a xj bracket and shifter/linkage.

Get this for your shift linkage. 100% better then anything stock. Much cheaper then the novak kit as well and it works just as good, if not better.

they have a different one for an auto tranny if thats what you have.

Did you put taller tires on it also? That would increase your steering radius. The steering stops might be adjusted different on the new 4x4 axle also. Is the shift arm on the xfer case on the right way and not upside down?

No tires yet, the linkage on the transfercase the little piece coming out is down

it should be facing down. Can you adjust the lengthener? on the actual shifting linkage?

I took the linkage off, and tried shifting it by the little bracket at the back of the tcase, and it still wouldn't move.

I did a transfer case swap and put the wrong switch in. One switch has a longer shaft then the other...... The switch stopped it from shifting.....

Could I get a picture of the switch please?
