Default Dropped Pitman arm guys got a Q for you. And an Inverted y to T Q too

Anyone have a Superlift 3" drop arm or a Skyjacker 3"?

The skyjacker I know is a 1.5 drop and the drag link simply mounts to the BOTTOM of the arm hence the "3" drop. Does the superlift one mount on top and compensate that with a longer drop?

My front end is still giving me what for again and was great after I put on my DT trackbar (fully adjustable) and Moog extreem duty fleet service rod ends and all links inbetween, Quad 4X4 ball joints, and a DSS. Now it seems I have eaten up another drag link and when I do this next repair I am wanting a droped P-arm.

My truck has a 1.5" leveling kit and Bilstein Stainless HD 5200 series shocks plus the stuff above and I miss how it used to steer like buttah. I also ordered a new intemediate steering shaft, and the coloumn update bushing too. But I now know why I have death wobble again as the one joint at the tie rod connection has failed again.


Can anyone show what the difference between the Inverted y and T setups are?

I know its alot but steering a bucket of water sucks

your drag link needs to be parallel with your trac bar. if it isnt then you get death wobble.

let me see if I have any of my steering pictures

Hmmmmm I can't tell if it is my drag link that is steep or if the DT track bar is sitting lower (which it does by the way it mounts) or a combo of both. I will snap a pic too of what I got goin on.
