I've pulled off many with a $10 TRE/Pitman arm puller and a really long extension(s) from the top

Yes, a proper pitman arm puller, hammer, and ratchet wrench is all you need.
Get the pitman puller on tight, then smack the pitman arm with the hammer a few times to loosen things up. Then tighten some more. Then smack some more. Repeat until it comes off.
People make the mistake of cranking on the puller until it breaks.
Sorry, I'm having trouble visualizing this.

Last one I tried to take off ended up getting cut. I heated it..beat it with a standard issue BFH with torque on it and everything. No dice.
Should be putting my hydro assist on and new box in the next few weeks...so I was trying to find one at an auto parts store as well and found out they are unavailable. I started soaking mine last week in wd-40 and enforce.
Hope to god my heep isn't as bad as the last one i had to take off.

I usually can't get the ratchet down in the area that is right above the pitman arm (from what I can remember, it's been a while) but I was always able to get it off if I used enough extensions to ratchet above the PS pump. Clear as mud? :confused1
The only place I could find a stock pitman arm was quadratec.com. They sell for about $25. The only thing I could find locally was a drop pitman arm, and the same goes for most of the online jeep retailers.
I ordered one last week for the same reason you want to get one. I had to wait 5 days for shipping, but express shipping would've been like $100.
