Drop pitman arm was created by lesgrandepotato
I’m chasing getting my steering feeling good and getting the lock I want.
I’ve got an OME lift on that’s about 2” or so. I’m not feeling like I’m not getting full turn at full lock. I think this is because the drag link steering arm isn’t level.
The pitman arm is a drop of 2.75” so…. For a stock SJ is the drag link level?
im wondering if I’m going to need a touch more lift to achieve maximum lock? Or is the drop arm long to get it right as I get twisted up?
Am I right in thinking the lock stops are in the steering box? That’s what stops the wheel turning, e.g. the worm runs out of travel. There don’t seem to be any other lock stops?

From memory, the steering stops are on the hub units, not on the steering box. Also, on my SJ413, the lock with a plus 2" Rancho set-up was adequate for trialling, but extra could be obtained by modifying the stops.
