I couldn't find my notes, so I had to measure on the truck.

Length 6.625-6.75" long
Drop 2.5-2.625" drop ( the arm seats HIGH on the steering box shaft also )

Hope this helps.

So....................... it fits on the steering shaft etc. Looks like it would work but..............................the drag link will be tricky as it is very close to the crossmember.

one more.

Hoping meiser could take some pics of his setup lock to lock so i can see how far the pitman arm needs to travel. Going to call NWFab tomorrow as i haven't heard a word from them, might get them to bend me a different drag link and try it if possible. I will send them the pics and see what they think. Only other option is too get the wj and go from there, means more waiting.

Anyone know who can ream the wj arm and would have one in stock? Need one quick! Should have ordered one before, it may work with this existing draglink. I will ask NWFab since they owe me bigtime.

looks like the drag link would work with that 1" drop arm if the bend in the drag link was closer to that ball joint...

Im not sure, in the pictures the pitman arm is straight ahead and when i turn it would push the draglink even further into the crossmember. Not sure if there is enough room to move the bend that close towards the pitman arm end.

Looks like a mostly straight draglink with only one bend like miesers would work the best.

When i do mine i'm going to try and use the stock 2WD pitman arm.
