Eli did you also make some drop bracket s for the radius arms? If not did the lift throw your caster ? I am not a fan of the drop radius arm brackets, but have thought about longer arms to off set the potential problem. Any updates on your build?

Hey mofoco1. No I did not drop the pitman arm. It really did not mess with the caster. If any it's very minimal. But as far as the build go, I'm going to do the 4x4 conversion. I'm just collecting the parts and money to buy a donor truck... Haven't found a good one yet locally. I thought about it after I did the 2wd lift but I still wasn't happy. Lol. Not saying it didn't work. But my truck is to badass for sitting low. Lol. I'm going for 4-6 inch lift....

2wd lifted

Eli when you convert, let me know I will take the pitman arm off your hands, as it really looks as if it's longer than stock. Thx... Mo

Thx Eli. Once mine is done I will decide if I want to convert. I have a 75 Bronco that. I use ad my 4x so the conversion for me is dependent on time.

Sorry, I just saw this. I did add a drop pitman arm. Even so, the truck drove what I would say 80% correct.

I find myself owning another '75 2wd now days. If/when I lift it, I will just pay the $$ and go AutoFab

Do you remember what the pitman was originally from?
