Just b4 disaster
Drivin down the road steering starts feelin funny I pull into the shop and all the sudden My steering wheel is out of whack and not straight I don't think much of it and haul *** to town for parts. I get back and throw my rig on the lift and look at my steering adjustments and what do I find a huge crack in my pitman arm! Would my messed up caster do this what should I have my caster b at for a 7 in lift

Here is a link to one from Top Gun Customz. Don't know much about them but I have been looking at a set of tubular control arms from them. 00-02 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4x4 3.5-8" Lift Drop Pitman Arm Other than that there is a skyjacker on ebay for $223

Ya that's where I'm at now BROKE! I'm gunna order one Thursday.... So I got a drop pitman off a ford 250 machined the teeth so that it would line up on my steering box I made sure nothing was binding and everything cleared took me 6 hours that shows how much care I put into it... Gunna order the top gun pitman Thursday as well but if this one doesn't give me problems why change it right?

Just a heads up for you on the raptor install, buy a small pair of 90* needle nose pliers to remove the factory fuel line from the tank. Took me 4hrs to install my raptor. 3 of those hours was sitting jambed inside my wheel well cussing like a sailor rotating the factory fuel line with one hand while trying to squeeze the two tabs with the other hand. Tried with my fingers and every other tool I had (all being too big) until I finally said f it and went to town and bought a small pair of 90's.
