7 series pitman arm

[Radd Cruisers]

Did a search with no luck, looking like we will need a drop pitman arm with the lift were running on the 60 SOA, OME lift.

I though the 7 series had the best drop of all?

60 has more drop than 70. I used a 60 pitman arm when I did my Emus, helped a lot.

7x has the least drop of them all. The 60 has good drop as does the ifs trucks. They all fit the splines of the steering box.

Thanks, so I had it backwords.

I will take a look down at the local wreckers for a IFS arm.

you are running SOA AND a lift? sheeet what tires are you planing on running?
lets see, 5" plus 2 1/2" is 7 1/2" over stock so you could run 15" over stock tires...
sheesh 44" tires... WOW!!

What the customer wants the customer gets..........

I think it looks pretty cool, might be a bit tippy.

may i make a suggestion?
take about 3 leaves out of the rear and 1 or 2 from the front, figure out how to hook up the front sway bar even if you have to weld the mounting tabs to the top of the axle...
make sure you have anti wrap bars hooked up front and rear or you will be snapping ujoints all the time...
use adjustable shocks front and rear so you can control the sway, stiffer in the rear...
you can tell me to bugger off i woun't be offended...
cheers

Yup, that's going to be TIPPY. I tried the beltons with the SOA and I hated it.

I went with good OEM springs and a 2" body. I am also running 1.5" spacer for each wheel to widen' it up. Running 325/85R16s. I LOVE it!!

Wayne saw it at the shiver. It works great.

I don't think an ifs arm is going to have much more drop than a 60 arm. If you're running high steer and a regular arm you should be pretty good. I dunno if the other 60 soa guys have found a larger drop arm or not but you might check around.

Its funny that people are saying its going to be "Tippy" It has Tippy's axles and exactly the same lift formula. Spring Over on OME's. Its a winning combo, leave Tom alone.
