Longer Pitman Arm

[SC Rednek]

After my axle swap I want a longer pitman arm, I've never seen one for sale, anyone know where to buy one?

And I don't mean drop pitman arm, I mean longer.

Wrong forum much? WJ pitman arms are a little longer I believe.

Wrong forum much?

Sometimes, but only after quite a few beers. Kind of figured custom axle swap related tech belonged in this forum. Mods feel free to move wherever.

Didn't know about WJ pitman arms. I'll look into it.

I'm also willing to modify mine if that's possible, I think I've seen custom welded pitman arms before but can't quite remember.

Looks like a WJ arm is 3/4" longer, one tooth offset but easily ground out?

Done read a Waggy pitman arm is also similar length but less drop? Could be fine since I got to to rebuild my frame side track bar mount anyway to keep things parallel (real bad bump steer), it'd be less torsion force on the frame to have a shorter track bar bracket, but I'm be worried about rod end angles, I'm using 7/8"-3/4" high misalignment but I don't want to overdo it.

same drop as an xj arm and an inch longer

no advanced fabrication and engineering needed

Looks like exactly what I need and not too expensive, I'll measure tonight when I get back from work to make sure it's long enough.

I got mine from parts mike. I can't remember if my final arm was a ford arm or a SJ arm (I tried a couple to get the right angle). There are a a bunch in his collection. Partsmike.com

I think I'll go with the one Brian suggested, thanks everyone!
