Superunner Steering
I just got a superunner steering kit for my 95 F250. It says you must use the superlift dropped pitman arm. Does anyone know what the differance is between the superlift arm and any other one? I would hate to spend the extra money if the one (pro Comp) that I have now will work.

as long as it is dropped it doesn't matter! they are trying to get you to buy more stuff....do the 2 pitman arms look almost identical?
unless i am not understanding correctly but i believe i do!

No you don't HAVE to get the brackets....I refused to get the superlift brackets because they stink in comparison to the skyjacker brackets (the superlift kit on my other F-150 stunk in general to my new skyjacker kit)...but I still got the superrunner steering under my truck.
So I took a piece of 1/4" steel plate, welded it between the skyjacker bracket and the crossmember. Then I modified the bracket on the superlift kit, welded it to the piece of steel..and away I go.
The pitman arm doesn't matter as long as the joint at the bottom of the arm is at a proper angle.
I had the superlift pitman arm and the skyjacker pitman arm side by side and they were similar enough I just used the skyjacker one.

Slightly off topic, what is the differences in the F250 supperunner steering vs. the Bronco/F150 one? In other words would the F250 steering work on a Bronco?

Edit: I'm considering getting it and making it work. I've got to do something about that y setup. But that is approaching the cost of a D44 HD for a SAS.
Sorry about the thread hijack.
