Drop pitman arm with long travel suspension?
I am putting together a list for my front suspension/steering on my prerunner build. (4x4)
Im dropping in some king coilovers, long arms, crossover steering, ect... Im looking to get 14"-16" of travel out of the front (4-5 up/10-12 down), with a 4-6 inch "lift" over stock ride height. Ill be running all heims no ball joints. The drag link is going to be a custom length to accout for the new ride height, but due to the travel i want, would a drop pitman arm help the steering to not bind on full droop or would it just make my drag link length shorter and not make a difference?

what inch drop would be recommended for the travel i want to have out of the suspension?
To my knowledge there is only one arm available. Just know horns heims will cause a lot of road noise and vibration to be transferred to the wheel and you
Drop for 3-6 lift
Drop for 5-8 lift
Drop for 6-8 lift
I'm looking to run 4-6 above ride height in the front, with the 14-16 total travel, which drop arm would be best for this situation?
I would go for the 5-8 but I wouldn't be surprised if they are all the same length just want to charge you more. When I first designed a prerunner suspension for a customer at my shop I compared all available pitman arms and they were all the same just different tapers for the years
