Nearly finished the spring over etc on my BJ42. I've used a snake histeer kit and very flat springs and with the 60s power steer box the pitman arm only sits a couple inches above the springs. This will obviously hit on right wheel up travel. My question is, Which is flatter, 75 or 80 series pitman arm and do they have the same throw? Long shot i know, but does any one have a pic of all three beside each other?
Cheers.

75 arm is the same length as the 60 and gains you about 20mm of clearance.. I know nothing about the 80 arm..

My 75 arm is from an early 75.. The later ones appear to be the same as 80 arms from pictures I've seen.. Theres probably nothing to be gained by using an 80 arm..
I have seen flat arms for sale somewhere, one of the popular local establishments I think, but if your spring shackle is in the stock location you probably wont need it..
