drop pittman arm and idler arm?
Searched but I didn't really come up with anything.
Noticed downey makes a drop pittman arm that would probably work great with getting my steering geometry back in line but does anyone make a drop idler arm to match? http://www.downeyoff-road.com/Chassi...nversions.html I have to rebuild the bushings as mine as it has got so bad it actually hits the frame at suspension compression now. It'd be nice to find these 2 parts to get the relay rod and tie rods back in line so it doesn't wear out again.

I have the same problem hitting at the joint of the tie rod end on the passenger side at the idler arm linkage and the tie rod. Nice silver spot on the frame im just gonna put in new bushings and see what happens the others are completely blown.

I'm suprised someone hasn't come up with these parts or a relay rod with drop joints as it's such a common problem for people running a mild ifs lift without using a bracket lift. Someone pointed out a relay rod bracket of sorts in another thread made by superlift but I can't find anything on that either. I'm thinking I'll have to get another idler arm and weld it on top of my stock one then cut it down so it's dropped about 1.5"... but I really don't want to start experimenting with things that keep my vehicle going straight at 75mph

That was me, I should have made it clearer that Superlift doesn't make them anymore. I was just posting that up to give you ideas about making your own.
