OM617 in XJ/MJ - dropped pitman arm
In a 2wd XJ/MJ with the stock p/s gearbox in its stock location, how much of a dropped pitman arm is required to clear the OM617 front oil sump? How about a 4wd?
E-bay has a 1.5" for $30 and a 4" for $60.
If a dropped pitman arm is used, is a matching dropped track bar mount required to both clear the oil sump and to avoid the dreaded XJ death wobble?

I believe the 4in is enough, I did not use the Jeep box. I would get the motor where you want first, then get the drop you need to clear. The trac bar drops the same amount, but I belive it will need to be reshaped.

There was a guy who posted clips on youtube showing how he solved the front suspension in his 4x4 XJ and used an OM617.
Has anyone tried to move the OM617 oil pick-up and the sump to the back of the block ?
