    I know. Doesn't mean CJ only parts can be used for Saginaw steering, or anything else for that matter...:rofl: :D

    My box has a 1 3/4" drop to it from the flat arm that was stock on many saginaw boxes. It leaves my tierods on my dana 30 with 2.5" lift almost dead flat. My arm came with the box and its off of a 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix or Catalina, been so long ago since I bought it I can't remember for sure, these 2 cars were sitting side by side when I found them and I can't remember for sure which one I got it from.

    Joel, I would definitely switch to a 15" steering wheel to aid with the Popeye syndrome.

    Joel,

    You're welcome to take all three of the pitman arms I have for mock up, then just return the ones you don't want. I also have an old grant steering wheel available, but I don't think it will be pretty enough for your Jeep (that's a compliment, not a jab :)).
