Well like I said it is in a shop and I only looked at it for a minute, but it looked like the rod end on the drag link was sitting dead center directly above the tie rod. That is why I was thinking that I needed a much shorter pitman arm. The jack stands were under the axle housing, so the weight of the truck was already on the springs. At this point I am just hoping the pitman arm would enable me to drive it home. I can deal with the clearance on the trail later.
