Well that's a little better, but still up in the Gorge.

Near my folks house, takes about 1 hour to get there from Down town PDX.

Sad thing guys. The private timber company that owns most of the private
timberland in the gorge on the WA side, closed their land to all public access.
Thousands and thousands of acres of hunting and wheeling space gone.

Sharpxmen -

That would be great! There's really no hurry, other than now that i know what needs to be done, I'm anxious to do it. From what I understand, '86 through '06 are all the same, so long as it is for power steering.

I did try carparts.com before my last post, but couldn't find one. I've noticed that their catagories can be rather vague and hard to search.

Thanks again.

if you still want it is available: $35 + shipping, it's brand new never installed (i checked on 4wd.com and it's $72 so i figured 1/2 price) - let me know.

checked ebay and they are between $30 and $40 so I'll make it $25 + shipping to be below that.

I read on another forum that a dropped pitman arm should never be used with this type of relocation bracket, so I called Skyjacker to get their opinion. Their reply was that I should definitely have the dropped arm, especially with 4" of lift.

One of my installers has an XJ with a 6" lift under it. He gave me his stock arm to try on my TJ. What a difference it made! Bumpsteer is completely gone and it no longer dives to the right when running up the RPMs and shifting hard. Overall, the steering feels tighter and it doesn't wander on the freeway like it used to. The tie rod is now much closer to level, and the rig actually moves when the steering wheel is turned.

I'd say the rule of thumb holds true. If you use a relocation bracket (regardless of which one), use the dropped pitman arm.
