I used Dodge W150 two-wheel drive pitman. It is very strong, and is "keyed" exactly like a Scout II arm. You will have to reverse the taper in the TRE end for your high-steer, but you would have to do that on most arms anyway. I think if you try a "drop' style 78-85 Fullsize Bronco arm, you wont have to do the taper reversal, but the drop on the arm will be close to your leaf springs, making your high-steer not as high.

How close is the length on these arms compared to the Scout II pitman arm? Shorter or longer?

Take a look at Waggy arms. Same splines, less drop, a little shorter.

Your local Jeep dealer should have 'em NEW for $60-ish.

PNP and Wagoneer go hand in hand with one another.

There was four Grand Waggys in the Stockton yard plus a J10 and a FS Cherokee on Sunday. That's six arms no waiting!:D :D :D
