Just a thought on your heims. Look at ruffstuff. I haven't used them, yet, but from trolling A LOT of people highly recommend Dan's stuff compared to everyone else.

Dan's stuff is awesome and his pricing is pretty good too. I prefer to buy most of my fab parts from him, especially after meeting him at Hammer Town. A very stand up guy.

I'll also throw a shout out to TMR Customs. Those Canucks are really stand up too.

Pitman arm ?

I have some misalignment spacers lying around if you end up needing them. Gratis.

Thanks bro, I'll let you know. Looks like the spacers that come with joints will work and if not I'll let you know.

Yeah, that was my first thought. Ruffstuff has a nice kit that wouldn't require much fabrication on my end but after speaking to a friend that built his own for his CJ I thought I'd give building my own a try.

Pitman arm ?

The joint end of drag link on the pitman is def on its last leg. Will replace with heim from kit and run drag link into a singls shear over the top of tie rod to passenger side knuckle. Won't be an OTK setup but if I find clearance issues I'll look into high steer knuckle or fabbing different location or go the easy route of buying aftermarket alternate mounting options.

Rig is my DD that I wheel occasionally a couple times a month and I'm very careful with not biting off more than I think it can chew. Nothing ive experienced yet makes me think clearance is issue, hence reason for utk tie rod and single shear passenger side.

But, in saying this. What I think you're getting at is that once the joint at the pitman arm is fixed my steering might not whine as much?

Any experience with this kit? Just saw the Bleepin Jeep YouTube video of it.

They have a high clearance kit (bent DOM tie rod and drag link) that allows me to keep swaybar and JKS quick disconnects.

Not too expensive and maybe a little more than what would cost to build my own?

It's a popular kit, CavFab makes some killer stuff.

Man, I wish that would've been around when I built Doug's steering setup. That's very well priced.

I wish it had been around when I built my own on the 99... great price.
