I was going to ream my cj pitman arm for GM tierod ends, but the stock arm doesnt seem to be wide enough. There would only be about a 1/4 inch of material left on each side after that,is this strong enough or does someone make a beefier arm.

Just get a waggy Pitman Arm, I believe it is already reamed for 2027R TRE and is pretty beefy, and cheap at the junk yards.

agreed I run the waggy arm and it works great

 

[rmkm]

Is it the same length as the cj arm? I moved my axle forward 3 inches and did crossover high steer on it. I then had to move the box forward 5 inches so now trying to keep the arm about the same length for clearance issues.

also agree, runnin the waggie arm on my XJ along with all the rest of waggie steering and its much beefier compared to crap stock

??

so will the waggy arm fit a stock YJ box and a 2027R TRE without any machining??? I've got a dropped YJ arm on it now, reamed for a 2027R, set up w/ high steer crossover on a HP44, and my TRE, on the pitman arm end of the drag link, is hitting the tie rod, hard. I was going to get a stock YJ arm, or a waggy arm, reamed for the 2027R, but if a waggy will bolt right up....

Anybody know for sure???

thanks

A waggy arm in stock form will not accept a 2026 or 2027- the tre taper is too large.

TJ arm has a couple inches of drop and you can re taper from either side

Yep, and the arm is a little longer than a CJ and has a ~13/16" drop built in.

another tidbit: BDS waggy drop pitman is 6.5" long with 2" of drop. This makes it a little shorter than stock waggy, but longer than stock tj/yj. $50-60

Can you get pre-tapered for the bigger TREs? That would be cool.

well i thought all waggy pitmans were designed for the 7/8 tre?

is this not correct?

Recently went to full high steer on my TJ D44 front axle. Pulled a Waggy stock PA out of a salvage yard and had to ream it to accept the Chevy 1 ton TRE's. I believe the ream was 1.5" per foot. Wouldn't fit unless I reamed it.
