Bump Steer

JGC403 · 04-30-2010, 08:49 PM

With a 3" skyjacker lift, the drag link and panhard bar aren't at the same angle anymore. So I am now getting some bump steer.

I looked online for drop pitman arms but those are for over 4" of lift. I read on here somewhere that panhard bar drop brackets are not the best option. It looks like my only option is a custom drop pitman arm. Unless someone else has another option.

You dont need a drop pitman arm. Double you lift height and then maybe. You need to look into upgrading your steering setup.

Is this a good option:

price is kind of steep at $314 for the initial cost. And another $75 for the reamer and another $40 in drill bits. For a grand total of $430. There has to be something better/ cheaper.

Rusty's doesn't look to bad. Cheaper to and no special tools.

Anyone have any experience with these?

The JCR setup is amazing. I run the Rugged Ridge crossover steering and have no complaints. You might also want to check out Ironrock Offroads bolt on over the knuckle steering. It looks to be a decent setup. If I were you I would stay away from rustys steering components.
