I made the mistake of thinking that fitting a drop pitman arm would help with the articulation with a big lift. Infact its made things worse and will be a chew to revert it back to standard pitman.

The worst mod on a lifted jimny is the drop pitman arm. The best is to raise the streering bar from the

wheels side or just leave it stock.

Take back on the stock one and then do any mod you want.

Panosd do you have any pics/description of how you moved the axle brackets of the front radius arms 3cm forward.

Here's roughly how much I have cut it so far.

EDIT: Actually only about a half of that is cut off, and the rest I have just smashed in with a hammer. :laugh:

I have decided I am gonna move the front axle forward by 3cm by cutting off the radius arm chassis mounts and rewelding them back on 3cm further forward. I may still need to chop/hammer the bulkhead to create more space.

Any comments guys.
