IN MY SAGA TO BUILD MY Z71 solid axle truck,,,ive ran into a few problems. i ordered my kit from OUR,and the guy i talked to was nice. well,,today when i called about a dropped pitman arm,this guy i talked to was a complete jackass, he was very rude to me and did not have any interest in getting my buisness. so i called national tire and wheel. i always talk to Dave,,his extension is 116. he has always been nice and helpful to me. he called around all day trying to find me a pitman arm for my truck. well,,,come to find out,i called skyjacker and the guy said if i could get the spline count and shaft diameter,he could get me one. well,since im a manager at Autozone,,i took a stock IFS pitman arm and measured it with a dial caliper. the splines were 28,,,and it had keyways clocked in the 12,3,6,9 positions. so i called skyjacker back,,and another guy anwsered. he knew what pitman arm i needed from the start. come to find out,,,i can use the same arm that is on a ford 76-up with power steering. so i called dave back at national and had him to xpress me one with a 5.5in drop. id just like to say that i will NOT do any more buisness with ORU. my praises goes out to dave at national,,and the folks at skyjacker for being so helpful and nice.
