If anyone is interested I did end up bending my tie rod a bit to get the stock pitman to work. I however didn't like the fact that the tre got so hot during the process, also it the whole rod seemed to flex when actuating the steering, so I installed curries correctlync as it seemed to have the...

Thank you gentlemen. Although it looks like the M8000 is no longer even on Scamazon now. It was definitely there last night. Off to search the interwebs.

M8000-s from amazon is $1100+. Might be able to get it a touch cheaper from some other places but not less than $1k for sure. M8000 is $650 on Amazon and if I get 85' of synthetic rope, a safety thimble and aluminum hawse fairlead for $285 from TRE, minus forum discount, that's about $900. Minus...

I Not yet, I will over spring break. If nothing else to see if I can get the stock pitman on there. If it works I’ll probably upgrade the steering altogether. I’ll post after the bend attempt

If you don't mind, how much did the new housing set you back?

Welp, looks like I need to find a good 4x4 shop to tell me exactly what's going on with this. Thanks for the help gentlemen.

I’ve got 33s on there. Currently only my upper control arms are adjustable but that can change if it needs to $$. Can you adjust caster on each side independently? Or do you think my axle might be bent?

Just got back from the alignment shop, here's the printout. Also, measured the pinion angle next to the diff, 10.3 degrees. And the front axle angle is 8.9 degrees. Both angles are prob .3 degrees higher because of garage floor slope. Thoughts?

Never had it measured by a shop but I suspect it’s in the normal range. Drives pretty nice especially after getting the swayloc. Except for some bumpsteer. Do the drag link angles look normal to you?

Well, I had this pitman issue on the back burner for a while, but I installed a SwayLOC last week and decided to revisit. One of the things I did was hard over the steering wheel to the right and the first picture is that. I thought there is no way the drag link/tie rod joint should be that...

Daughter drove it to school today so I’ll post that this afternoon. The ujoint is pretty strait from the diff through to the driveshaft. So, yes, angled down a bit.

I was to I was told it was a 3.5” lift but the front springs are at 16”. The rear springs are harder to measure accurately but the rig definitely sits a bit lower in the back. They said they put it on and there are a couple of scratches on the pitman arm now so I believe them. I think I’m...

It’s a 06 if that matters. And is your solution of switching sides of the bracket a hack? I’d like to have it work the way it is supposed to and know exactly what is causing it. I am considering going to the Currie correctlync (and entire Currie lift for that matter) but if it’s still going to...

Gentlemen/women I bought my TJ 3 months or so ago and it came equipped with possibly a Frankenstein 3.5" lift that includes a drop pitman arm. I had it in the shop addressing a couple other items and asked them to swap in a stock pitman too. Apparently they put it on but discovered that the...
