drop pitman arm

Just got one on and it is easier to steer and doesnt wonder as much.
Next is a new damener.
Getting the steering down a little at a time

Did you measure the total length of the arm, between the holes? And then compare that length with the stock one?

The reason I ask is I have always had a really bad turning radius on the CJ.
Recently I took the drop pitman off to change out the steering box, and noticed that the spare drop pitman I had laying around was almost an inch longer then the other. Knowing that the pitman arm is the fulcrum for the steering system, I used the longer one when I reassembled the system. Now I have a much better turning radius than before.
What I'm trying to say is you may notice that your turning radius might be a little different now...Let us know if that true?
