The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/farfromstockstore.com\/products\/dropped-pitman-arm-2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e2” dropped pitman arm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e should cover from 2” to 4\" lift. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/farfromstockstore.com\/products\/dropped-pitman-arm-4\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4” dropped pitman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e can be from there up and can be combined with a steering block to compensate for even more lift. Your steering box will be removed from your frame, removed from the 4wd adapter plate, and bolted straight back to your frame with no plate a few inches towards the rear of the truck in the factory 2wd location. ( This is an excellent time to add our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/farfromstockstore.com\/products\/72-93-steering-box-brace\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003esteering box brace\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. ) You will need to shorten your steering shaft or get a 2wd connection shaft. (This is the time to look into our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/farfromstockstore.com\/products\/94-01-dodge-steering-box-rebuild\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ebuilt steering boxes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e including the 3-1\/3 turn lock to lock top notch steering box and steering shaft coupler! Huge improvement, far better that the so called “rebuilt” boxes you see advertised even with bright colored paint jobs) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efab is easy, set your wheels completely straight, center your steering box pitman arm in its travel (not the wheel, it can be adjusted after and someone could have easily installed the shaft to the box incorrectly in the past). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoosely install the ends in each arm (Steering and Pitman) after proper modifications to fit, and measure the tube length between the tube adapters (make sure they have some room for adjustment but have plenty of thread engagement)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eif you have any less than 4” of lift, and even then, if you are planning on lots of flex and suspension travel for off road, you will likely need a small bend in the crossover drag link.  This should be done with a tubing bender but can be done in a press if careful not to kink the tube. It’s 1\/4” wall so that’s heavy enough to comply without too much chance of kinking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeld each end and don’t use too much heat or go too slow, to preserve the threads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From Stock","offers":[{"title":"DIY Crossover Kit","offer_id":50360482955550,"sku":null,"price":542.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tapered Insert.","offer_id":50360482988318,"sku":"DLINSERT Ruff Stuff dropship to customer","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tapered Reamer","offer_id":50360483021086,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7171\/1262\/files\/image_f817901e-4e31-4ca5-86af-3356f4eee633.jpg?v=1781096403","url":"https:\/\/platinumhpsolutions.myshopify.com\/products\/act_s_6bt-r2207-ruffstuff-steering-kit-with-shipping","provider":"Platinum High Performance Solutions, LLC.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
