Anyone have an 80 Series pitman arm they may want to part with?

I'm neck deep in my SOA and looking for more stuff room. The Marlin arm has a bunch of drop, which makes the draglink a target when the leafspring is fully compressed.

Any ideas?

FYI - SOA thread here
 
80 parts are incompatible with leafs. :flipoff2:
It's like Roseanne and spandex.

Before you buy anything, let me compare my Marlin arm with 80 arm tomorrow, I remember they almost have the same drop last time I checked.

I have seen that 60 vs 80 arms pic before, I couldn't reproduce the difference in drop like that, but I will try again tomorrow.

Ps: who wants a Marlin arm :)

Edit: May be I should ask if you have compared them yourself first.

Thanks for the visual

Medtro - I have not seen an 80 arm in person to compare. I assume it will fit the splines on the box, and of course I'm using 80 end (ala Marlin). So the real question, is how much drop?

The drop looks pretty close. But, the 80 arm is FAT!

Medtro - Thanks for the pic. How much difference in drop would you guess, if any?

Rhino - Thanks! Truth is, I need to get the truck on a ramp to see at what point it will hit (if at all).
 
Is she a driver? Bring her to the shop on friday afternoon and we'll bust out the autoflexer... ahem, I mean forklift.

Friday may be a little too soon. But, I will definitely take a raincheck. I am really curious what my shock dimensions will measure out at.
