New extreme drop pitman arm

 

[vwa1]

How much of a drop is that pitman arm? It's not the rough country one right? Also, why buy that one instead of just using the drop arm that came with the lift kit? Plan on going taller in the future? I had no trouble with the rough country arm that came with my lift, that's why I'm so curious.

Read this, the pitman arm is a skyjacker extreme drop 5.5 inch, which is a four inches lower than a stock arm, the one that came with the kit is only 2 inches lower than stock

Nice article! Think I'll grab one of those when I swap in Explorer axles hopefully this summer.

Next thing I have planned is trying to align it myself, I want to change ball joints and get some adjustable camber bushings, is this what I need?http://www.partsgeek.com/cart/

Those links don't work for me. The camber/caster bushings were the main reason I had the alignment dude install them. There are tons of different options. I suppose something like moog #K8983 would work. It's advertised as -3 1/4 to 3 1/4 degrees adjustment. Mine needed all the negative camber we could throw at it after the lift kit install. Front wheels sat like this \ / when looking at it from the front of the truck. Maybe somebody with more experience will chime in with part numbers or advice.

The one I'm thinking is 0 - 4+

Mine " looks " good but I'm still getting it aligned just want to try and do as much as I can before I take it in to save some money
