My junk is almost finished. Im running waggy springs in the front with high steer on a 44. What pitman arm should I do on my 84 CJ. I need to drill it out for 5/8 to use heims. Can I stay stock it looks wicked week. Thanks RK:bender:

I am using the stock pitman arm, drilled to 5/8 for hiems. Seems fine so far.

If you're full width and want some really tight turning a longer pitman arm will give it to you. I run a waggy piman with my waggy springs and it works great.

If the sector shaft on the power steering box on your CJ is the same as a YJ, then you can run a Ford truck drop pitman arm. They have about 4" of drop, and a 7" radius compared to a YJ 5" radius. This will give you a lot more turning radius. They are pretty beefy.

If you want a stout flat one then get one from an Astro van.

It's easy to drill the alignment splines so you can clock it any way you want. Big vice, drill (mill) press and a small carbide mill bit. If you can use stock, 4x4 install shops have a box of "Tash" they will usually give you of new factory takeoffs.
