i rotated it when i was straightening it

i can raise my axle side track bar mount fairly easily to help with geometry a little, and i thought i remember hearing of a pitman arm with less drop (waggy or wj, i forgot).
not sure if that changes your suggestion at all in regards to OTK, just throwing that out there.

never heard of akermann until now, i'm doing some reading to try and understand it better.
this thing turns on a dime offroad, it almost feels like a front dig, just pulls the front end up and around anything. i love it in that respect. on road stability is semi crap, it's tolerable, but there is no return to center.
from the couple threads i found on pirate, it sounds like i have an inverted ackermann. and going OTK will make it worse than it is now, correct?
if i can raise the pitman side as much as i can raise the knuckle side when going otk, will it steer the same as it does now?

I ran OTK on my wj setup and it was great.
I seem to recall an associate who ran it this way and struggled with it.
Do your research to be certain.
I have no personal experience with this set up

There were issues running a wj RHD driver's side knuckle for true high steer, that messed with ackerman.

everything i'm reading says it has to do with the tie rod length, which would ring true with what you just said since the upper arm on the wj knuckle is way inboard from the lower tie rod arms.

you keep telling people that, and it keeps being incorrect.
OTK vs UTK has nothing to do with ackerman.
