I swapped in a YJ steering box to fix something but I wasn't sure if it would work out, so I kept the YJ pitman arm installed. The box worked out so now I need to figure out what I'm going to do about the pitman arm. Honestly it looks like the YJ arm is giving me perfect angles, even better than what I had with the XJ gear box, however the angle of the TRE at the Pitman seems pretty steep and I don't want to put myself at risk of bending or breaking that. Here's the angle with the YJ pitman and the T&T trackbar and bracket:
Interesting that the big T&T trackbar bracket didn't move the top mount further than it did. Anyways, long-term plans are replace axles and steering then lift it another 1-2" depending on factors. So I'm wondering what I should do here:
A) keep it as is for now and deal with whatever binding problems may arise
B) go back to the XJ pitman to get more leeway on droop
C) go ahead and do the ZJ pitman to get it over with
