Took my 6 inch lift off, and now can't find a stock steering arm. Any suggestions on where to find one! Not many k10s in the pick-n-pulls!

There is a sticky on here about using the old jeep Cherokee shafts. They bolt right on and are generally easy to find. They are beefier than the stick shaft and let's you get rid of that rag joint that always seems to fall apart.

He's looking for steering arm.. not steering shaft.

To be honest for the cost of the arm just buy a new one.

Would that be a dealer item? Can't find one online, lots of steering arms for lifted trucks but nothing for stock!

The pitman arm attaches to the steering gear, the drag link is the 2 ball joints that connect the pitman arm to the steering arm, which is attached to the steering knuckle/axle.

Unlikely that any dealer will have that part. As far as I know pretty much everything aside from some useless stuff like horns and light bulbs are discontinued for our old squares.

Junk yard is our dealer supply now

That being said, anyone interested in the 6 inch lift I removed? All you would need are shocks, u bolts and brake lines and those should be new anyways!
