Are there anymore options aside from sky and ott for pitman arms? I need one with less drop than stock, but not quite flat. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.arcticoffroad.com/albums/album32/133_3399.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.arcticoffroad.com/albums/album32/134_3413.jpg)

Another option is a modified FJ80 pitman arm from Front Range off Road. Bill Morgan and Brian McCammish are both running this pitman arm, it works well. I have the OTT arm and have seen the Sky pitman arm as well, I think that the OTT is the beefiest offered.

Like Harry said, I have the FROR modified 80 series pitman. The only thing is it's slightly shorter than stock. This changed the speed of the steering. It's just slightly slower, but this is no big deal and some thing it's kind of advantagous. They all pretty much seem to be the same price, around $100-150. If you don't need a shorter arm to clear tie rod and just want to raise it a bit, I'd probably go with OTT.

If you are a glutton for punishment you could rotate your steering box. If you don't count your time, that's nearly free.
Personally, I like the mod'd FJ80 arm. Its a tad slower without being too slow. Increases leverage slightly, though I doubt that adds up to much.

Rotate the box? Ha! I just finished moving it forward 2.5". I'm not doing it again <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />. Thanks for the tip on the FROR arm. I hadn't seen that one yet.

I run the AllPro fabricated pitman arm: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/CrossoverSteering/SpringDrop7.jpg) Of course it does use a different style rod end than what you have.
