Longer piman arm - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Wont drag it out

I used longer springs in the front of my FJ40 (used FJ60 rear springs)

Thus the axel actualy moved back a couple of inches

Problem, need a longer piman arm to go on the Saginaw box

A 2 inch or so drop is okay, just need a little longer.

Anyone have a source for customs or better yet stock applications that are longer??

Any and all are appriciated

You might try drilling a new center pin hole in the spring perch first, to move the axle forward. A longer Pitman arm will also lower lower the efective ratio of the box.

Longer pittman arm will change your steering ratio...

Scout is a long ass arm. Might work for ya..

redrill the perch, gain 1 to 1.5"....

and Scout is REALLY longass, with about the right drop...

How long do you need? I have a 8" about 2" drop arm if you need it.

Your 8 inch might work

Is it for the saganaw box. If so shoot me a price

I was thinking a custom one but will have to see

I am using the marlin perches and using the front holes allready , If I could figure out how to put a picture on here for ya I would

I will take measurments tommarro, I would like 11inches but that would be pushing it on the box for stress. and moving th box would be a project no dought.
