I'm going to switch back to the stock pitman arm - the drag link is too flat on the bottom of the drop arm. The stock arm is basically the same as moving it to the top of the dropped arm. Since I'm running high steer arms and the drag link is going directly to the arm rather than to the tie-rod, I was afraid that the drag link would get into the front x-member when the suspension cycled.
Today I cut the bottom half of the x-member off and welded a 3/16" plate back in. Much more room now mokin:
My trac bar was not on during the pics (springs leaning!)- had to take it off to get room to cut.
