Extreme drop pitman arm?

[swtjames23]

With 4" axle pivot brackets and 6" SJ springs on a Supercab 4.0L I expect to see around 4.5" of true lift...

My question is would an "extreme drop" pitman arm be a better choice than the regular drop pitman arm for my application?

I know something like the superrunner steering would be ideal but I'm on a budget, that will come later.

Thanks

The 4 inch drop pitman arms arent enough for the 4 inch lift and the 6 inch is usually recommend for them so I will say yes, get the 6 inch one. As long as your steering linkage is flat after all is said and done then you should be good.

4" SJ lift w/6" coils and extreme drop (#FA600) drop pitman arm (Supercab truck):

That's perfect. Thanks junkie

I ran the equivalent setup a year or more ago. 4.5" of true lift with a FA600 arm.....this was the best ride height and drivability my truck ever had. Almost no bumpsteer!

Awesome. All I need now is 6" springs...

im running 6 inch springs with the 4 inch lift with the 4 inch pitman arm and honestly scary to drive... deffinetly will be spending the $200 on a pitman arm.

Darn, you resurrected an old thread! I'll let it go though... What's your setup? TTB or SAS?

"6 inch springs with the 4 inch lift" would imply that it's TTB.
