My dodge has a sligthly s-shaped non-adjustable drag-link.
And now I'm thinking of converting it to a Chevy style straight adjustable drag-link.
I've borrowed a tapered reamer to ream out the holes for the bigger chevy DLE:s
But problem is, according to my measurements, the angle at the pitman arm will be on close to the maximum angle for the DLE at full droop...
So I've been thinking of swapping in a pitman arm along with the sector shaft from a 4wd Chevy, since that one is a little twisted
(the dodge pitman arm is completely straight)
But the Chevy pitman arm turned out to have too much angle (about 30 degrees), so i't would bottom out on compression instead
So does anyone know of a pitman arm that has just a slight twist in it, say maybe 10-15 degrees?
which fits on a saginaw steering box.
I guess one way would be to heat and twist the stock dodge pitman arm,
but I'm hesistant of heating a steering component that much on a street driven truck...
