i just installed a dana 44 in my bronco 2 with leafs, and i used high steer. i also moved my axle forward 3". now i am having trouble with the drag link hiting the sterring rod under flex. i need a more flater and mabye longer pitman arm, were can i find one to fit? i also would NOT like to relocate the power steering box.

dont know for sure but you might want to look at a early 66-77 bronco stock pitman arm. there are flat and about 4-5 inches long. just an idea! keep us informed on what you find!

i figured out that waggys pitman armwould work best. 7in lon and 3/8 of drop. i all so found out that almost all american power string boxes are 36 spline

99-04 superduty's use flat pitman arms

big specht · 02-14-2007, 05:38 PM

Ya but they had to differant spline counts

REDWAGON1985 · 02-14-2007, 10:06 PM

90's f350 are petty flat...and have more metal incase you need to ream it.

f250crawler · 02-14-2007, 10:38 PM

dunno then.

the 04 superduty pitman arm i have has the same spline as my 89 pitman arm.
but iam not sure if the b2 uses the same gearbox as the fsb,150, and 250's use from that same time frame

1ton70 · 02-15-2007, 04:07 PM

move steering box 3 in forward.

I used a pitman arm from a 78 bronco on mine. Yes, the spline count was the same but it was way too small for the shaft on the B2. Had to file the splines by hand and file the bastard splines out. Took me about 2 hours of filing and test fitting. The pitman arm is a LOT flatter and not near as much drop, along with being around an inch longer.

I just pulled a flat one a couple weeks ago from a stock bronco.

what year bronco? Unless it doesn't matter, but I'm needing one for a 80-96 F150/bronco. If you've got one to sell, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I think I have a stock pitman arm from an 84 F150 that I lifted back when I was driving it in high school. I'll scrouge around and see what I can find.
