Hello all I am Prepping My V8 Rally Range for its Next race this month in South carolina, I am doing so diffrent stuff to the front end,,I rally race this is a on and off road race truck 1985 ford ranger G1 V8 5.0L SEFI HO.
I have widened the front end by add material to the brackets and drilled new holes 1 inch to increase the track by 2 inch. also adding a shock mounts in front of the radius arm for a more travel shock. but my question is.
I need to do a quick steer, make the steering turn faster of rotation from the steering wheel input, some would use a quickener set up but I want to use a longer pitman arm. My arm hole to hole is aprox 5 ", I am in need of one about 6.5 to decrease the steering input (rotations) by about 1/3 has anyone found a longer arm (hole to hole) or a OEM that fits may be longer then 5" that I could try.. be fore I have to cut and weld one..
Please get back to me,

Save you some time...

Here's some pics of the pitman arm, the small one is a '91 STX Ranger, the big one is a '87 STX Highrider Ranger. Looks like I'll have quicker steering;
