This weekend I noticed that my idler arm was really sloppy too so I replaced it. I think the problem is that with the lift kit the angle of force is angled with respect to the axis of idler arm rotation. On stock trucks the angle is much shallower because the steering knuckle is higher with respect to the idler arm and pitman arm mounting locations.

It seems the best way to address this problem would be to have some sort of drop bracket for the idler arm and some sort of similar thing (whatever that may be) for the pitman arm.

Is there any sort of remedy like this available? I googled around and found many offset pitman arms for jeeps and an idler arm truss, but not what I think is needed.

Hope this isn't thread hijacking. It seemed the best place to ask.

Thanks in advance.
