well linda's old dana 35 that was transplanted under my brothers YJ finally took a dump, and we got a case of the "while i'm at it's"

did a spring over, 8.8 swap, and swapped in an np208

just waiting on a few parts to come in and it'll be done

Those of you with sprung over YJ's, how bad is the steering with just a drop pitman arm?

Shouldn't be much different than a CJ. Stock arm is the same length. Dont get a procomp arm, it will make your turning radius suck, I have one laying around, but I'd feel bad if I even just gave it to anyone. Waggy drop pitman arm rewelded and tapered for d30 TREs seems to be best. Steering wasn't bad, except for the turning radius was worse than my dodge (yes really, no bull****, could make the turn at the bank in the dodge, but not in jeep)

I'm still running just the drop pitman and it seems to steer better then when I was SUA...not nearly as much play. Steers pretty well now

Are those stock springs?? Looks like a little arch in em, but I may be going blind
