Drop pitman arms


Recommended Posts

Due to major clearance issues I need to run a drop pitman arm.  Or I think I will.

 

ZJ is a 1" drop versus MJ, correct?

 

Anyone gone aftermarket and found the results reasonable?  I see lots of them list as a drop pitman arm for "YJ, TJ, XJ" etc when all of these used different arms to begin with, so it's a little hard to know what you're actually buying.

 

I plan to order or track down a couple because it seems trial and error is often the best option.

Here is a ZJ arm next to a XJ/MJ arm. Make sure to get your drag link and track bar angles right so there isn’t any bumpsteer.

Thanks.  Looks like it will help a bit.  I'll probably need more, even with moving the box forwards (and down).

 

It's not my first rodeo with steering and track bars.  "I know what I'm doing" :dunce:

 

Of course I'm still stupid enough to start a tech thread in the pub. :doh:

Just a friendly reminder. I’ve “known what I’m doing” many times and still completely forgotten a step or something. Even doing what you know sometimes you get out of rhythm
