So the V8 pitman is a drop pitman, this is very useful info...a trip to the junkyard it is. I would use the stock steering if I could find a RHD to take the draglink from and do OTK
Just pick up a V8 grand cherokee draglink and tie-rod while at the JY...This is way better than stock and hard to beat with aftermarket equipment...It's like buying the rugged ridge steering system w/o the heavy price...I got mine from the JY for $35-40 out the door, already had the drop pitman arm...you should try this set-up!!!

Looking for someone that has extra room going to Jeep beach...I need them to meet up with Huntingman(Travis) in Daytona and P/U a TC from him and bring back to me if he still has it and can bring it...

If you have the room and don't mind, let me know so I can make arrangements with him to bring it down and meet you somewhere...

I have the one I took off when I swapped my axles this weekend, needs the rubber boots on the ends but it is in great shape...I can sell ya that one or you can grab one out of the JY...Your looking for the V8 grand cherokee, not the V6...also, if you don't have a drop pitman arm, the GC V8 should have a dropped arm on it so snag that too if ya need one...
