Pitman Arms For Your Dodge Ram 2500/3500
The Pitman arm on your Dodge Ram truck is a crucial component in the steering system. Directly connected to the steering box and drag link, the pitman arm translates the rotation of the steering box into the side-to-side movement to turn your truck's wheels. A drop pitman arm is a common upgrade for lifted trucks, this design helps maintain proper steering geometry at the taller suspension height.
