It does. If the pitman is no longer pointing straight when the steering arm is straight, you will have uneven steering.
Shorter pitman arm, longer highsteer arms should solve this.
I can't tell from the pic, but is that a Toyota axle? Are you 100% sure that Toy axle can even steer as far as your pitman arm can swing in the pics?

You'd want to NOT lengthen the steering arm, as this would require more throw from the pitman.
Oh damn, you ARE correct!
Shorter highsteer arms would require less throw from the pitman arm.
I ran into this steering arm/pitman arm length issue a few yrs ago while building my junk......had a helluva time getting the assist ram sized correctly.

It's OK, we don't expect much from the jeep crowd.. 
If you get a longer pitman arm, you're gonna have more interferance at the spring. A shorter set of arms would still allow full steering without interferance.
What axle are you playing with??

The axle is a HP d44 that I changed to passenger side drop. The steering arms are cool looking but to long. I got a scout arm and cut and redrilled it and now have lock to lock! I notched the frame to clear the TRE nut and have enough room now for everything. I will post pics tomorrow.
